This session presents three novel approaches for the exploration for the power performance trade-off for single and multi-core systems.  The first paper presents a multi-processor task scheduling approach that exploits input-dependent variations in the execution time of tasks.  The second paper introduces a novel DVFS algorithm based on a runtime distribution-aware prediction of the workload.  The last paper finally presents an accurate design space exploration tool for NoC architectures.
