Quorum-based Power Saving (QPS) protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks (e.g., IEEE 802.11 ad hoc mode) to increase energy efficiency and prolong the operational time of...
The objective of this study is to determine the right cycle management policy to service periodic soft real-time disk retrieval. Cycle based disk scheduling provides an effective ...
While hard disk drives are the most common secondary storage devices, their high power consumption and low shockresistance limit them as an ideal mobile storage solution. On the o...
In this paper, we introduce PTLsim, a cycle accurate full system x86-64 microprocessor simulator and virtual machine. PTLsim models a modern superscalar out of order x86-64 proces...
As an adaptation of the CONWIP concept, AMD has developed a heuristic approach to control the WIP in its wafer fabrication facilities (fabs). The so called "Loop Control"...
