In the past, the major concern of the VLSI designers werearea, performance, cost, and
reliability. In recent years, however, this has changed and, increasingly, power is beinggiven …

This paper introduces a continuous-time, controllable Markov process model of a power-
managed system. The system model is composed of the corresponding stochastic models of …

Over the years, the fundamentals of VLSI technology have evolved to include a wide range
of topics and a broad range of practices. To encompass such a vast amount of knowledge …

Limiting the energy consumption of computers, especially portables, is becoming
increasingly important. Thus, new energy-saving computer components and architectures …

Abstract Dynamic Power Management is a design methodology aiming at reducing power
consumption of electronic systems, by performing selective shutdown of the idle system …

With the explosive growth in computers and the growing scarcity in electric supply, reduction
of energy consumption in large-scale computing systems has become a research issue of …

Pervasive use of cloud computing and the resulting rise in the number of datacenters and
hosting centers (that provide platform or software services to clients who do not have the …

High-performance clusters have been widely deployed to solve challenging and rigorous
scientific and engineering tasks. On one hand, high performance is certainly an important …

Reducing power consumption is a challenge to system designers. Portable systems, such as
laptop computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs), draw power from batteries, so …

In this paper, we provide an efficient solution for periodic real-time tasks with (potentially)
different power consumption characteristics. We show that a task T/sub i/can run at a …
