This report addresses the problem of scheduling for real-time systems that include both hard and soft tasks. In order to capture the relative importance of soft tasks and how the ...
Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) circuits have been widely adopted in many computing systems to provide tradeoff between performance and power consumption. The effective use of energ...
Most of today’s real-time embedded systems consist of a heterogeneous mix of fully-programmable processors, fixed-function components or hardware accelerators, and partially-pr...
Energy conservation is an important issue in the design of embedded systems. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) are two widely used techniques for sav...
Low-level support of peripheral devices is one of the most demanding activities in a real-time operating system. In fact, the rapid development of new interface boards causes a tr...
