To determine whether L4, a lean second-generation μ-kernel, has overcome these limitations, we have repeated several earlier experiments and conducted some novel ones. Moreover, we ported the Linux opera... | {
"abstract": "This note evaluates several hardware platforms and operating systems using a set of benchmarks that test memory bandwidth and various operating system features such as kernel entry/exit and file systems. The overall conclusion is that operating system performance does not seem to be improving at the sa... |

"abstract": "New astrometric analysis of four Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images of the isolated neutron star RX J185635-3754 shows that its distance is 117 ± 12 pc, nearly double the originally published distance. We argue that the star's birthplace was in the Upper Scorpius association but that a connection wit... |

"abstract": "Power dissipation has now become the most critical design constraint. In the design flow of an SoC, power estimation and analysis usually come into the picture only after the completion of RTL synthesis. However, design optimization for low power is most suitable before synthesis. Each decrease in proc... | {
"abstract": "We propose `HotSpot', a tool for the visualization of dynamic power consumption in RTL designs. Using an RTL simulation, the amount of switching activity at major circuit nodes is determined. This information is annotated onto a custom graph of the circuit in the form of `temperature' colour coding. Ho... | {
"abstract": "Clock gating is one of the power-saving techniques used on the Pentium 4 processor and in next generation processors. To save power, clock gating refers to activating the clocks in a logic block only when there is work to be done. From the earliest days of the Pentium 4 processor design, power consumpt... |
