Determining Application-specific Peak Power and Energy Requirements for Ultra-low Power Processors

Moore's Law and Ultra-Low-Power Processors

Welcome to the November/December 2017 special issue on ultra-low-power processors. The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution is happening at a rapid pace. Most projections forecast that the number of connected IoT devices will grow exponentially, easily reaching over 100 billion within the next decade. This revolution leads to a vigorous demand for ultra-low-power (ULP) edge computing devices and...

application of upfc based on svpwm for power quality improvement

در سالهای اخیر،اختلالات کیفیت توان مهمترین موضوع می باشد که محققان زیادی را برای پیدا کردن راه حلی برای حل آن علاقه مند ساخته است.امروزه کیفیت توان در سیستم قدرت برای مراکز صنعتی،تجاری وکاربردهای بیمارستانی مسئله مهمی می باشد.مشکل ولتاژمثل شرایط افت ولتاژواضافه جریان ناشی از اتصال کوتاه مدار یا وقوع خطا در سیستم بیشتر مورد توجه می باشد. برای مطالعه افت ولتاژ واضافه جریان،محققان زیادی کار کرده ...

Ultra-low-power Design and Implementation of Application-specific Instruction-set Processors for Ubiquitous Sensing and Computing

The feature size of transistors keeps shrinking with the development of technology, which enables ubiquitous sensing and computing. However, with the break down of Dennard scaling caused by the difficulties for further lowering supply voltage, the power density increases significantly. The consequence is that, for a given power budget, the energy efficiency must be improved for hardware resourc...

Smart Ultra Low Power Energy Harvesting System

Small embedded systems operating in unattended conditions do need to be perpetually powered if a truly pervasive paradigm is envisaged. Harvesting energy from the surrounding environment seems to be the best option. For that, a set of systems has been proposed featuring interesting solutions but not yet capable of overcoming some issues like performance and flexibility. The authors propose a no...
