To meet the high demand for powerful embedded processors, VLIW architectures are increasingly complex (e.g., multiple clusters), and moreover, they now run increasingly sophistica...
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...
Rising energy costs in large data centers are driving an agenda for energy-efficient computing. In this paper, we focus on the role of database software in affecting, and, ultimat...
