— Employing multiple supply voltages (multi-VDD) is attractive for reducing the power consumption without sacrificing the speed of an integrated circuit (IC). In order to transfe...
Most operating systems enforce process isolation through hardware protection mechanisms such as memory segmentation, page mapping, and differentiated user and kernel instructions....
The amount of Task Level Parallelism (TLP) in runtime workload is useful information to determine the efficient usage of multiprocessors. This paper presents mechanisms to dynami...
The growing complexity of systems and their implementation into silicon encourages designers to look for model designs at higher levels of abstraction and then incrementally build ...
In this paper, we propose the use of fine-grain process modelling as an aid to software development. We suggest the use of two levels of granularity, one at the level of the indiv...
