Purpose Teacher pay in Arkansas public schools varies widely from district to across the state. This discrepancy is driven by both funds available a and how these are allocated. A standard per student budget given districts state, but this can be supplemented additional property taxes collected on within district. leaves with more highly valued at an advantage. Districts free allocate their for...

The widespread production and utilization of plastic products have become ingrained in our society, resulting a staggering amount waste, severe environmental challenges, resource depletion.

In this paper we outline the Adaptive Resource Allocation Protocol (ARAP) as an improved resource synchronization algorithm for hierarchically scheduled real-time systems. ARAP exploits knowledge about task utilization, using a proportionalintegral-derivative (PID) controller, to estimate required resource bandwidth and improve scheduling decisions. Our analysis and experiments with RTSIM show ...

Optimizing system resource utilization is a key design objective for system engineers in communications, electronics, and other industries. System resources such as processors, memory, or bandwidth on a communication bus are often shared by various components in the system. To understand the utilization of a shared resource, system engineers must do two things: identify constraints on the resou...

In this paper a novel technique for resource-constrained loop pipelining is presented. RCLP is based on several dependence graph operations: loop unrolling, operation retiming, resource-constrained scheduling, and span reduction. All these operations are focused to nd a minimum length schedule able to be executed with a limited number of resources and thus maximizing resource utilization. Exper...
