Power-aware computing aims either to maximise the performance of a system under certain constraints on its power consumption and dissipation or, dually, to reduce power consumption in order to meet desired performance or throughput targets. This area is currently gaining importance due to the increasing usage of portable, mobile and hand-held electronic devices. In this paper we illustrate the ...

− This paper presents an efficient system level power saving method for DRAM with multiple power modes. The proposed method is based on the power aware scheduling algorithm that controls DRAM modules in coarse grain in which the scheduler assigns appropriate power modes to memory banks at context switching time. The method controls the transition of multiple power modes, which is currently avai...

Portable multimedia player (PMP) devices have been gaining in its popularity with the emerging digital convergence of data, video, audio, etc. Since the PMP devices are typically equipped with DSP, bigger display, and a hard disk, efficient power management has become more crucial than the other portable devices. This paper establishes a hardware/softwarebased power measurement system based on ...

Media advocacy is defined as the strategic use of mass media to advance public policy initiatives. Media advocacy is rooted in community advocacy and has as its goal the promotion of healthy public policies. It can be differentiated from traditional mass me...

The fastest and most effective way for a company to realize maximum profit is to get its pricing right. The right price can boost profit faster than increasing volume will; the wrong price can shrink it just as quickly. Yet many otherwise tough-minded managers miss out on significant profits because they shy away from pricing decisions for fear that they will alienate their customers. Worse, if...
