Critical systems like pace-makers, defibrillators, wearable computers and other electronic gadgets have to be designed not only for reliability but also for ultra-low power consu...
In this paper we present an approach to boosting performance and tolerating latency by deferring non-critical instructions into a deferred queue for later processing. As such, ins...

This paper describes the transaction support framework OPTIMA and its implementation for Ada 95. First, a transaction model that fits concurrent programming languages is presented...
We propose a technique that takes a triangulated surface as input and outputs a surface with the same topology but altered geometry such that each polygon falls into a set of disc...
—Energy-efficient design of battery-powered systems demands optimizations in both hardware and software. We present a modular approach for enhancing instruction level simulators ...
