The question whether preemptive systems are better than non-preemptive systems has been debated for a long time, but only partial answers have been provided in the real-time liter...
—The inherent many-to-one flow of traffic in Wireless Sensor Networks produces a skewed distribution of energy consumption rates leading to the early demise of those sensors that...
Work stealing is a common technique used in the runtime schedulers of parallel languages such as Cilk and parallel libraries such as Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB). Depth-r...
Static timing analyzers need to know the minimum and maximum number of iterations associated with each loop in a real-time program so accurate timing predictions can be obtained. ...
This paper is concerned with the application of formal optimisation methods to the design of mixed-granularity FPGAs. In particular, we investigate the appropriate mix and floorpl...
