Current handhelds incorporate a variety of acceler-ators/IPs for improving their performance and energy efficiency. While these IPs are extremely useful for accelerating parts of a computation, the CPU still expends a significant amount of time and energy in the overall execution. Coarse grain customized hardware of Android APIs and methods, though widely useful, is also not an option due to the high...
Cloud datacenters must ensure high availability for the hosted applications and failures can be the bane of datacenter operators. Understanding the what, when and why of failures can help tremendously to mitigate their occurrence and impact. Failures can, however, depend on numerous spatial and temporal factors spanning hardware, workloads, support facilities, and even the environment. One has to...
Heartbeat monitoring during sleep is critically important to ensuring the well-being of many people, ranging from patients to elderly. Technologies that support heartbeat monitoring should be unobtrusive, and thus solutions that are accurate and can be easily applied to existing beds is an important need that has been unfulfilled. We tackle the challenge of accurate, low-cost and easy to deploy heartbeat...
Coherence misses are an important factor in limitingthe scalability of multi-threaded shared memory applicationson chip multiprocessors (CMPs) that are envisaged to containdozens of cores in the imminent future. This paper proposesa novel approach to tackling this problem by leveraging thegrowingly important paradigm of approximate computing. Manyapplications are either tolerant to slight errors in...
Handheld devices are ubiquitous in today's world. With their advent, we also see a tremendous increase in device-user interactivity and real-time data processing needs. Media (audio/video/camera) and gaming use-cases are gaining substantial user attention and are defining product successes. The combination of increasing demand from these use-cases and having to run them at low power (from a battery)...
The management of power consumption in datacenters has become an important problem. This needs a systematic evaluation of the as-is scenario to identify potential areas for improvement and quantify the impact of any strategy. We present a measurement study of a production datacenter from a joint perspective of power and performance at the individual server level. Our observations help correlate power...
