Various commercial programmable compute platforms have their processor architecture enhanced with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In a common usage scenario, an applicatio...
Quality of service (QoS) is one of the key features for new Internet-based multimedia and other applications. Meanwhile, energy remains as a big concern for systems that perform s...
Cellular radios consume more power and suffer reduced data rate when the signal is weak. According to our measurements, the communication energy per bit can be as much as 6x highe...
Early energy estimation is increasingly important in MultiProcessor System-On-Chip (MPSoC) design. Applying traditional approaches, which consist in delaying the estimation until t...
The backup of large data sets is preferably performed automatically outside of regular working hours. In highly structured computer networks, however, faults and exceptions may rel...
