An Energy-Efficient System with Timing-Reliable Error-Detection Sequentials
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-26)A new type of energy-efficient digital system that integrate EDS and DVS circuits has been developed. In these systems, EDS-monitored paths convert the PVT variations into timing variations. Nevertheless, the conversion ... -
Energy-Efficient Transaction Scheduling in Data Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2021-03-30)Natural short term fluctuations in the load of transactional data systems present an opportunity for power savings. For example, a system handling 1000 requests per second on average can expect more than 1000 requests in ... -
Energy-Efficient Turbo Decoder for 3G Wireless Terminals
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Since its introduction in 1993, the turbo coding error-correction technique has generated a tremendous interest due to its near Shannon-limit performance. Two key innovations of turbo codes are parallel concatenated ... -
Enforcing Abstract Immutability
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-01)Researchers have recently proposed a number of systems for expressing, verifying, and inferring immutability declarations. These systems are often rigid, and do not support "abstract immutability". An abstractly immutable ... -
ENFRAMED.
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-10)Contemporary architectural discourse commonly invokes the term framing. Derivative phrases contrived in education and practise are seemingly inexhaustible: framing the view, framing space, framing an idea, frame of ... -
