Dynamic Power Management for Embedded Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses several of the SOC design issues pertaining to dynamic voltage and frequency scalable systems, and how these issues were resolved in the IBM PowerPC 405LP processor. We also introduce DPM, a novel architecture for policy-guided dynamic power management. We illustrate the utility of DPM by its ability to implement several classes of power management strategies and demonstrate practical results for a 405LP embedded system.

متن کاملThe dynamic power management for embedded system with Poisson process
The mass of the embedded systems are driven by second batteries, not by wired power supply. So saving energy is one of the main design goals for embedded system. In this paper we present a new technique for modelling and solving the dynamic power management (DPM) problem for embedded systems with complex behavioural characteristics. First we model a power-managed embedded computing system as a ...

متن کاملLow Power Design Techniques for Embedded Systems Dynamic power management Entwurf von Systems-on-a-Chip für Kommunikationsanwendungen
Dynamic power management (DPM) is a power reduction technique based on dynamically reconfiguring the systems to provide the requested services with a minimum load on the components of the system. DPM includes a set of techniques that achieves energy-efficient computation by selectively turning off (or reducing the performance of) system components when they are idle (or partially unexploited). ...
متن کاملA Practical Dynamic Frequency Scaling Solution to DPM in Embedded Linux Systems
Traditional power management enables CPU to switch among different power consumption modes such as running, idle and standby to save energy to a certain degree. In battery-powered embedded Linux systems, power management plays an even more important role than in desktops. This paper proposes a practical solution to dynamic power management (DPM) based on dynamic frequency scaling (DFS). Accordi...
