Abstract In major Information Technology (IT) companies such as Google, Rackspace and
Amazon Web Services (AWS), virtualization and containerization technologies are usually …

Real‐time systems are nowadays extensively used in most time‐critical embedded
applications. The existing multiprocessor real‐time scheduling algorithms are based on …

Datacentres provide the foundations for cloud computing, but require large amounts of
electricity for their operation. Approaches that promise to reduce power use by minimizing …

Power-performance constraints have been the key driving force that motivated the
microprocessor industry to bring unique design techniques in the past two decades. The …

Thermal covert channel (TCC) attack poses severe threat to many-core systems, which leaks
sensitive data secretly by using heat transfer as the communication media. There are a few …

As an effective scheme often adopted for performance tuning in many-core processors, task
migration provides an opportunity for “hot” tasks to be migrated to run on a “cool” core that …

As the demand for high-performance microprocessors increases, the circuit complexity and
the rate of data transfer increases resulting in higher power consumption. We propose a …

Cloud computing is a relatively new developing technology that allows users to pay for
services on a pay-as-you-go basis. It provides internet-based information and …

Real-time applications may be comprised of both soft and hard tasks, the former being
related to streaming-based or other non-critical services. For these applications one is …

In the design of real-time systems, it is becoming increasingly important to take soft-error
tolerance into account. While hardening techniques such as error detection and error …
