Microprocessor design has recently encountered many constraints such as power, energy,
reliability, and temperature. Among these challenging issues, temperature-related issues …

Thermal-aware scheduling of parallel jobs is becoming an increasingly critical issue in
software design for computing platforms ranging from embedded systems to large servers …

With power density and hence cooling costs rising exponentially, processor packaging can
no longer be designed for the worst case, and there is an urgent need for runtime processor …

In this 25th year anniversary paper for the IEEE Real Time Systems Symposium, we review
the key results in real-time scheduling theory and the historical events that led to the …

With cooling costs rising exponentially, designing cooling solutions for worst-case power
dissipation is prohibitively expensive. Chips that can autonomously modify their execution …

Power density continues to increase exponentially with each new technology generation,
posing a major challenge for thermal management in modern processors. Much past work …

Data center power is a scarce resource that often goes underutilized due to conservative
planning. This is because the penalty for overloading the data center power delivery …

Internet-based applications and their resulting multitier distributed architectures have
changed the focus of design for large-scale Internet computing. Internet server applications …

Performance and power are two primary design issues for systems ranging from server
computers to handhelds. Performance is affected by both temperature and supply voltage …

We present a technique that controls the peak power consumption of a high-density server
by implementing a feedback controller that uses precise, system-level power measurement …
