Energy Aware Programming and Optimization

The optimal energy carriers substitutes in thermal power plants:A fuzzy linear programming model

In this paper, a dynamic optimization approach for optimal choice of energy carriers in thermal power plants is proposed that analyzes the substitution of energy carriers in short-term planning of a power plant.The model is based on the linear programming method with the objective of minimizing costs under constraints of resource availability, energy balances, environmental regulations and elec...

Compilation and Simulation Tool Chain for Memory Aware Energy Optimizations

Memory hierarchies are known to be the energy bottleneck of portable embedded devices. Numerous memory aware energy optimizations have been proposed. However, both the optimization and the validation is performed in an ad-hoc manner as a coherent compilation and simulation framework does not exist as yet. In this paper, we present such a framework for performing memory hierarchy aware energy op...

An Energy-Aware Programming Approach for Mobile Application Development Guided by a Fine-Grained Energy Model

Energy efficiency can have a significant influence on user experience of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Software optimization plays an important role in saving energy; however, effective energy optimization relies mainly on developers, since compiler-based energy optimizations are limited. In this paper, we propose an energy-aware programming approach, guided by an operation-ba...

Energy-aware Ant Colony Optimization Based Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Energy Efficient Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks by Using Honey Bee Mating Optimization

Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mobile stations communicating through wireless links, without any fixed backbone support. In these networks, limited power energy supply, and frequent topology changes caused by node mobility, makes their routing a challenging problem. TORA is one of the routing protocols that successfully copes with the nodes’ mobility side effects, but it do...

Design of a novel congestion-aware communication mechanism for wireless NoC architecture in multicore systems

Hybrid Wireless Network-on-Chip (WNoC) architecture is emerged as a scalable communication structure to mitigate the deficits of traditional NOC architecture for the future Multi-core systems. The hybrid WNoC architecture provides energy efficient, high data rate and flexible communications for NoC architectures. In these architectures, each wireless router is shared by a set of processing core...
