The use of Flash memories in portable embedded systems is ever increasing. This is because of the multi-level storage capability that makes them excellent candidates for high dens...
Caches are notorious for their unpredictability. It is difficult or even impossible to predict if a memory access will result in a definite cache hit or miss. This unpredictabilit...
Distributed hard real-time systems require guaranteed communication. One common approach is to restrict network access by enforcing a time-division multiple access (TDMA) schedule...
We propose the first polynomial-time code selection algorithm for minimising the worst-case execution time of a nonnested loop executed on a fully pipelined processor that uses sc...
We propose an efficient placement algorithm and per-disk prefetching method to effectively support interactive operations in the media server. Our placement policy is incorporate...
