—In state of the art systems, workload scheduling and server fan speed operate independently leading to cooling inefficiencies. In this work we propose GentleCool, a proactive m...
The central idea behind interface-based design is to describe components by a component interface. In contrast to a component description that describes what a component does, a c...
Power-related issues have become important considerations in current generation microprocessor design. One of these issues is that of elevated on-chip temperatures. This has an ad...
This paper describes a way to manage the modeling and analysis of Scheduled Maintenance Systems (SMS) within an analytically tractable context. We chose a significant case study h...
-- In this paper we analyze P2P live streaming systems. Through this analysis we obtain the crucial parameters for their performance in terms of bandwidth utilization, set-up time,...
