Minimizing expected energy consumption in real-time systems through dynamic voltage scaling
Many real-time systems, such as battery-operated embedded devices, are energy constrained. A common problem for these systems is how to reduce energy consumption in the system as much as possible while still meeting the deadlines; a commonly used power ...
Memory scheduling for modern microprocessors
The need to carefully schedule memory operations has increased as memory performance has become increasingly important to overall system performance. This article describes the adaptive history-based (AHB) scheduler, which uses the history of recently ...
