Energy conservation without performance degradation is an important goal for battery-operated computers, such as laptops and hand-held assistants. In this paper we determine the p...

Concentration of design effort for current single-chip Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) microprocessors has been directed towards performance. Reliability has not been the primary ...
In the absence of location errors, geographic routing - using a combination of greedy forwarding and face routing - has been shown to work correctly and efficiently. The effects o...
The IEEE 802.11x MAC protocol, the de facto standard for wireless LANs, includes a distributed coordination function (DCF) mode usable for ad hoc network architectures. The Transm...
An important class of queries is the LIKE predicate in SQL. In the absence of an index, LIKE queries are subject to performance degradation. The notion of indexing on substrings (...
— We study the delays faced by instructions in the pipeline of a superscalar processor and its impact on power and performance. Instructions that are ready-on-dispatch (ROD) are ...
For Pen-input on-line signature verification algorithms, the influence of intersession variability is a considerable problem because hand-written signatures change with time, causi...
CMOS scaling increases susceptibility of microprocessors to transient faults. Most current proposals for transient-fault detection use full redundancy to achieve perfect coverage ...
We propose a novel system-level error tolerance approach specifically targeted for multimedia compression algorithms. In particular we focus on the motion estimation process perf...
