Schedulability analysis aims at determining whether task executions complete before their specified deadlines. It is an important activity in developing real-time systems. However, in practice, engineers have had difficulties applying existing techniques mainly because the working assumptions of existing methods are often not valid in their systems. Specifically, uncertainties in real-time systems and hybrid scheduling […]

Battery life is a key concern for smartphone makers, and the power consumed by smartphone applications is directly tied to battery life. In this project the intern will develop fast, early and accurate models of smartphone power consumption, before the hardware and the operating system are available. These models will be useful for early optimization […]

User experience and battery life are key concerns for smartphone makers. Given the growing trend of graphic-rich applications on mobile devices, embedded Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are increasingly being incorporated in smartphone hardware platforms. In this project the intern will develop fast, early and accurate models of embedded GPUs, before the GPU hardware is available. […]

Taking SickKids Mobile is an initiative of the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) that explores the use of mobile technologies for enhancing patient care. It includes six sub-projects, three of which relate to improving current patient care processes and three focus on making existing services more effective and easier to use. The reach of these sub-projects ranges from […]
