The design and analysis of today’s complex real-time systems requires advanced methods. Due to ever growing functionality, hardware complexity and component interaction, applyin...
In this work we consider battery powered portable systems which either have Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) or voltage and frequency scalable processors as their main proces...
With the increasing programmability of GPUs (graphics processing units), these units are emerging as an attractive computing platform not only for traditional graphics computation ...
In wireless sensor networks, a sensor node broadcasts its data (such as routing information, beacon messages or meta-data) to all its neighbors, which is called local broadcast. A ...
The purpose of this work was to obtain a componentwise breakdown of the power consumption a modern laptop. We measured the power usage of the key components in an IBM ThinkPad R40...
