— In many Medium Access Control (MAC) schemes for wireless networks, an Acknowledgment (ACK) packet is transmitted from the data receiver to the data sender to announce the succe...
We present a novel mechanism, called meeting point thread characterization, to dynamically detect critical threads in a parallel region. We define the critical thread the one with...
In a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), mobile hosts can move freely and communicate with each other directly through a wireless medium without the existence of a fixed wired infrastr...
Wireless and portable devices depend on the limited power supplied by the battery. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) is an effective method to reduce CPU power consumption. For real-t...
The Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) is a very important part in the hardware support for virtual memory management implementation of high performance embedded systems. The TLB...
