Abstract. Power efficiency has become a key design trade-off in embedded system designs. For system-on-a-chip embedded systems, an external bus interconnects embedded processor co...
Portable systems require long battery lifetime while still delivering high performance. Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) algorithms reduce energy consumption by changing processor sp...
