Multicore architectures, which have multiple processing units on a single chip, have been adopted by most chip manufacturers. Most such chips contain on-chip caches that are share...
Energy constrained systems such as sensor networks can increase their usable lifetimes by extracting energy from their environment. However, environmental energy will typically no...
When dealing with large, distributed systems that use state-of-the-art components, individual components are usually developed in parallel. As development continues, the decouplin...
