Thursday, June 13, 2002, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM | Room: 287 SESSION 45    Scheduling Techniques for Embedded Systems    Chair: Rolf Ernst - Tech. Univ. of Braunschweig, Braunschweig, DEU    Organizers: Diederik Verkest, Donatella Sciuto    More and more embedded systems contain multiple on-chip processors and memory and are often battery powered. In these systems energy efficiency is of extreme importance. This session combines papers that look at how scheduling can influence power dissipation in all parts of the system. The first paper looks at how to better parallelize an application on a multi-processor architecture. The second paper looks at how an OS scheduler can direct DRAM power mode management. The last paper investigates the influence of scheduling on battery lifetime.      45.1 Communication Based Power Management for Battery Efficient System Design    Speaker(s): Kanishka Lahiri - Univ. of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA    Author(s): Kanishka Lahiri - Univ. of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA Anand raghunathan - NEC Corp., Princeton, NJ Sujit Dey - Univ. of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA      45.2 Scheduler-Based DRAM Energy Management    Speaker(s): Victor M.
