Traditionally, dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) techniques have focused on minimizing the processorenergy consumption as opposed to the entire system energy consumption. The slowdown...
Decisions taken at the earliest steps of the design process may have a significantimpact on the characteristics of the final implementation. This paper illustrates how power con...
The emerging Grid is extending the scope of resources to mobile devices and sensors that are connected through unreliable networks. Nowadays the number of mobile device users is in...
In a grid computing environment, resources are autonomous, wide-area distributed, and what’s more, they are usually not free. These unique characteristics make scheduling in a s...
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
