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...
Concerns about the reliability of real-time embedded systems that employ dynamic voltage scaling has recently been highlighted [1,2,3], focusing on transient-fault-tolerance techn...

—A novel feed-forward pulse width modulation (FF-PWM) technique is proposed for improving line regulation of buck or boost (BOB) converters. In order to provide a regulated suppl...
Most existing dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) schemes for multiple tasks assume an energy cost function (energy consumption versus execution time) that is independent of the task ch...
Energy efficiency is an important factor in embedded systems design. We consider an embedded system with a dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) capable processor and its system-wide pow...
