The progress of mobile device technology unfolds a new spectrum of applications that challenges conventional infrastructure models. Most of these devices are perceived by their us...
Abstract--This paper proposes an analytical model to estimate the cost of running an affinity-based thread schedule on multicore systems. The model consists of three submodels to e...
Task graph scheduling has been found effective in performance prediction and optimization of parallel applications. A number of static scheduling algorithms have been proposed for...
When applying Dynamic Power Management (DPM) technique to pervasively deployed embedded systems, the technique needs to be very efficient so that it is feasible to implement the t...
This paper presents an energy-conservation method for multiple disks and their cache memory. Our method periodically resizes the cache memory and controls the rotation speeds unde...
