Analysis of TCP's Computational Energy Cost for Mobile Computing

Overview This paper presents results from a measurement study of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) running over a wireless link. The primary goal was on obtaining a breakdown of the computational energy cost of TCP at the sender and receiver (excluding radio energy costs) as a first step in developing techniques to reduce this cost in actual systems. The authors analyzed the energy consumption of TCP in FreeBSD 5 running on a wireless laptop.

Moore's Law to roll on for another decade

Designers are going to have to add technologies such as strained silicon to their chips and to redesign transistors to control energy consumption. Intel, like other companies, is using the ISSCC conference to promote ideas for reducing power...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Conference turnaround

A direct link from projector to my laptop so I could capture all of the pictures and movies directly would be really convenient. To wander on to the stage with overhead foils resembling the Dead Sea Scrolls, or a laptop computer you can’t drive...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Intelligent machines

In the past year I have seen chip technologies that will reduce power consumption ~10-fold and new system design techniques that will give further reductions by a factor ~x6. Yes, our devices have become smaller and displays are bigger, and...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Remember when flying was fun?

And it seems to me that covertness of security is rather more assuring than the overt systems that demand I take off my trouser belt, my shoes, empty my pockets, remove my coat, take my laptop out of my bag - time after time after time.

Met Office forecasts blue skies for green IT

These computational workhorses and their predecessors at the Met Office Hadley Centre crunched through global data to produce evidence for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, whose predictions of a 0.2C temperature rise per...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.

IBM Information Server Change Data Capture

In today's fast-paced world, access to real-time data has never been more important. To be successful, organizations need to be able to report and analyze corporate data quickly and easily, regardless of what applications created the data, what platform they're running on, or what database they're stored in.
