As embedded systems continue to face increasingly higher performance requirements, deeply pipelined processor architectures are being employed to meet desired system performance. ...
This paper presents a quantification of the timing effects that advanced processor features like data and instruction cache, pipelines, branch prediction units and out-oforder ex...
Despite of the proliferation of object-oriented and component technology, their application to real-time operating systems (RTOS) has been limited since most design concerns in RT...
Memory systems consume a significant portion of power in handheld embedded systems. So far, low-power memory techniques have addressed the power consumption when the system is tu...
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. The main idea ...
