The concept of unreliable failure detector was introduced by Chandra and Toueg as a mechanism that provides information about process failures. This mechanism has been used to sol...
Previous studies have proposed techniques to dynamically change the architecture of a processor to better suit the characteristics of the workload at hand. However, all such appro...
In portable multimedia systems a number of communicating tasks has to be performed on a set of heterogeneous processors. This should be done in an energy-efficient way. We give th...
