Metawire: Using FPGA configuration circuitry to emulate a Network-on-Chip
While there have been many reported implementations of Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) on FPGAs, they have not seen the same acceptance as NoCs on ASICs. One reason is that communication ...

Approximation algorithms for power minimization of earliest deadline first and rate monotonic schedules
We address power minimization of earliest deadline first and ratemonotonic schedules by voltage and frequency scaling. We prove that the problems are NP-hard, and present (1+ ) f...
