We systematically survey the literature on analytically sound multiprocessor real-time
locking protocols from 1988 until the end of 2017, covering the following topics: Progress …

The steeply growing performance demands for highly power-and energy-constrained
processing systems such as end-nodes of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) have led to parallel …

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a widely used solution to reduce power
consumption. Modern multi-core architectures support core-level DVFS, where each core …

Due to non-linear factors such as the rate capacity and the recovery effect, the shape of the
battery discharge curve plays a significant role in the overall lifetime of the batteries …

Nowadays, one of the most challenging design issues of battery-driven real-time embedded
systems is how to reduce energy consumption such that the battery life can be prolonged …

We address the problem of minimizing overall energy consumption for sporadic tasks with
shared resources in a real time system. Previous algorithms use the static speed to deal with …

This paper investigates on the optimal power allocation and load balancing problem
encountered by heterogeneous and distributed embedded systems with mixed tasks. Given …

As the computing devices and software executions are susceptible to manifold faults, fault
tolerance has been an important research topic in safety-critical real-time systems …

Heterogeneous multicore processors have recently become de facto computing engines for
state-of-the-art embedded applications. Nonetheless, very little research focuses on the …

Heterogeneous multicore processors have become popular computing engines for modern
embedded real-time systems recently. However, there is rather limited research on the …
