We present a task model for adaptive real-time tasks in which a task's execution rate requirements are allowed to change at any time. The model, variable rate execution (VRE)...
Schedulability analysis is a cornerstone of modern real-time scheduling theory development. Utilizationbound based schedulability test is considered one of most efficient and effe...
Thermal hot spots and temperature gradients on the die need to be minimized to manufacture reliable systems while meeting energy and performance constraints. In this work, we solve...
This paper describes a method for providing in real time a reliable synchronization signal for cyclical motions such as steady-state walking. The approach consists in estimating on...
Very thorough online self-test is essential for overcoming major reliability challenges such as early-life failures and transistor aging in advanced technologies. This paper demon...
