Deterministic gate delay models have been widely used to find the transition probabilities at the nodes of a circuit for calculating the power dissipation. However, with progress...
For most Web-based applications, contents are created dynamically based on the current state of a business, such as product prices and inventory, stored in database systems. These...
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...
Time redundancy (rollback-recovery) and hardware redundancy are commonly used in real-time systems to achieve fault tolerance. From an energy consumption point of view, time redun...
Video kiosks increasingly contain powerful PC-like embedded processors, allowing them to display video at a high level of quality. Such video display, however, entails significant...
