Graphics-intensive computer games are no longer restricted to highperformance desktops, but are also available on a variety of portable devices ranging from notebooks to PDAs and ...
Enabled by the continuous advancement in fabrication technology, present day synchronous microprocessors include more than 100 million transistors and have clock speeds well in ex...
We present a novel mechanism, called meeting point thread characterization, to dynamically detect critical threads in a parallel region. We define the critical thread the one with...
— Though modern operating systems have a capable of controlling the power consumption using the DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling) mechanism, it is controlled for some ...
Multiple Clock Domain (MCD) processors are a promising future alternative to today’s fully synchronous designs. Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) in an MCD processor ...
