Motivated by issues of saving energy in data centers we define a collection of new problems referred to as "machine activation" problems. The central framework we introd...
Many real-world applications like Video-On-Demand (VOD) and Web servers require prompt responses to access requests. However, with an explosive increase of data volume and the emer...
Energy dissipation from the issue queue and register file constitutes a large portion of the overall energy budget of an aggressive dynamically scheduled microprocessor. We propo...
We consider the problem of broadcasting multiple variable-bit-rate (VBR) video streams from a base station to many mobile devices over a wireless network, so that: (i) perceived q...
This paper presents a new algorithm for on-the-fly data compression in high performance VLIW processors. The algorithm aggressively targets energy minimization of some of the domi...
