Multicore platforms, which include several processing cores on a single chip, are being widely touted as a solution to heat and energy problems that are impediments to single-core...
—In state of the art systems, workload scheduling and server fan speed operate independently leading to cooling inefficiencies. In this work we propose GentleCool, a proactive m...
Many wireless sensor nodes (motes) interface with slow peripheral devices, requiring the processor to wait. These delays waste time, energy and power, which are valuable but limit...
The underlying structure of why and how consumers value reliability of electric service is explored, together with the technological options and cost characteristics for the provi...
