Problem Set 9 (Scheduling for energy - Maria del Mar Alvarez Rohena)

1)      How does Odyssey support application adaptation?

2)      What is the average energy savings obtained from fidelity reduction
in the Odyssey applications? When is the fidelity reduction not
beneficial? Why?

3)      Why does the idle state dominate energy usage?  What is their
solution for this problem?

4)      What are the main goals of the "goal-directed" energy adaptation?
What must Odyssey do to achieve this?  Is it successful?
