Power-performance optimization is a relatively new problem area particularly in the context of server clusters. Poweraware request distribution is a method of scheduling service r...
This paper presents a statistical model for explaining why skewed-associativity removes conflicts better than setassociativity. We show that, with a high probability, 2-way skewe...
MPEG-4 is an important international standard with wide applicability. This paper focuses on MPEG-4’s main profile, video, whose approach allows more efficiency in coding and ...
Abstract— This paper proposes to speedup sampled microprocessor simulations by reducing warmup times without sacrificing simulation accuracy. It exploiting the observation that ...
The growth of business enterprises and the emergence of the Internet as a medium for data processing has led to a proliferation of applications that are server-centric. The power ...
Achieving high performance in cryptographic processing is important due to the increasing connectivity among today’s computers. Despite steady improvements in microprocessor and...
