We present a soft real-time CPU server for Continuous Media processing in the UNIX environment. The server is a daemon process from which applications can request and acquire soft...
In this report we address the problem of static scheduling of realtime systems that include both hard and soft tasks. We consider systems in which both hard and soft tasks are per...
—We design and implement Soft-TDMAC, a software Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) based MAC protocol, running over commodity 802.11 hardware. Soft-TDMAC has a synchronization ...
Submodular function minimization is a polynomially-solvable combinatorial problem. Unfortunately the best known general-purpose algorithms have high-order polynomial time complexi...
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) improves processor throughput by processing instructions from multiple threads each cycle. This is the first work to explore soft real-time sche...
