In concurrent programming, concurrent accesses to shared resources can lead to unexpected or erroneous behavior, so parts of the program where the shared resource is accessed are protected. This protected section is the critical section or critical region. It cannot be executed by more than one process. Typically, the critical section accesses a shared resource, such as a data structure, a...
Self-Adaptive Orchestration of energy efficiency capabilities In Heterogeneous Systems
Dynamic resources allocation has become even more attractive as a research direction with commodity computing gaining momentum and bringing new requirements regarding elasticity and flexibility and with the growing importance of cloud computing. The aim is to deliver high-performance computational while leveraging on other aspects, such as energy consumption. Admittedly, heterogeneity comes at...
