The parallel and distributed simulation field has evolved and grown from its origins in the
1970s and 1980s and remains an active field of research to this day. A brief overview of …

As the field of communications networks continues to evolve, the challenging area of
wireless sensor networks is rapidly coming of age. Recent advances have made it possible …

Modern system-on-chip (SoC) design shows a clear trend toward integration of multiple
processor cores on a single chip. Designing a multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSOC) …

In this paper, we present a two-phase framework that integrates task assignment, ordering
and voltage selection (VS) together to minimize energy consumption of real-time dependent …

This article examines two different mechanisms for saving power in battery-operated
embedded systems. The first strategy is that the system can be placed in a sleep state if it is …

Portable embedded computing systems require energy autonomy. This is achieved by
batteries serving as a dedicated energy source. The requirement of portability places severe …

Energy-efficient designs have played import roles for hardware and software
implementations for a decade. With the advanced technology of VLSI circuit designs, energy …

Recently, system architects have built low-power, high-performance clusters, such as Green
Destiny. The idea behind these clusters is to improve the energy efficiency of nodes …

This paper presents important, new results of a study on the problem of task scheduling and
voltage allocation in dynamically variable voltage processors, the purpose of which was …
