Reducing power consumption has become a major challenge in the design and operation of today's computer systems. This chapter describes different techniques addressing this c...
—Caches are commonly employed to hide the latency gap between memory and the CPU by exploiting locality in memory accesses. The cache performance strongly influences a system’...
We have developed a model-based, distributed architecture that integrates diverse components in a system designed for lunar and planetary surface operations: an astronaut’s spac...
