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 …

Users of cloud services are presented with a bewildering choice of VM types and the choice
of VM can have significant implications on performance and cost. In this paper we address …

In multicore systems, shared resources such as caches or the memory subsystem can lead
to contention between applications running on different cores, entailing reduced …

In the last few years, interest in wireless sensor networks has increased considerably. These
networks can be useful for a large number of applications, including habitat monitoring …

Power-aware execution of parallel programs is now a primary concern in large-scale HPC
environments. Prior research in this area has explored models and algorithms based on …

Memory bandwidth is a scarce resource in multicore systems. Scheduling has a dramatic
impact on the delay introduced by memory contention, but also on the effectiveness of …

Billion transistor systems-on-chip increasingly require dynamic management of their
hardware components and careful coordination of the tasks that they carry out. Diverse real …

Sharing of functional units inside a processor by two applications can lead to to information
leaks and micro-architectural side-channel attacks. Meanwhile, processors now commonly …

Traditional resource management techniques that rely on simple heuristics often fail to
achieve predictable performance in contemporary complex systems that span physical …
