متن کاملPower Evaluation of a Handheld Computer
The computing requirements of battery-powered systems are increasing faster than battery capacity. Because large, heavy batteries are unacceptable for handheld computers, low-power design and power management are crucial for these systems. One of the main obstacles limiting these techniques is the lack of a detailed analysis of system power under representative workloads. With the understanding...
متن کاملInterpreting the Battery Lifetime of the Itsy Version 2.4
Several previous studies have been performed which evaluate the power consumption of the Itsy pocket computer version 2, developed at Compaq Computer Corporation’s Western Research Laboratory (WRL). Attempts have been made by others to use the data from these studies to characterize the behavior of the Lithium-ion battery used for the Itsy. Although our previous studies correctly characterize t...
