Dynamic Power Management for Embedded Systems
Dynamic power management refers to power management schemes implemented while programs are running [1]. Many architectures provide the equivalent of a halt instruction that reduces CPU power during idle periods. The operating system and device drivers may also manage power of peripheral devices, for example spinning down disks during periods of inactivity.

A Control-Theoretic Approach to Power Management in Embedded Processors
Embedded processors must be operated in power-efficient fashion while satisfying application-specific quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. This paper addresses the power management of embedded processors via a control-theoretic method. A model-predictive controller is proposed where the corresponding control signals managing power consumption are generated via a mathematical processor model by minimizing a specified cost function....

Actel: The New 'Power-Smart' Power Paradigm
The next few years will bring great changes in the way our society views the high-tech community. We're in the early stages of a transition that will result in recognition of the electronics industry as a major contributor to the resolution of the world's global warming problems. To date, companies are talking about power reduction initiatives, but more can be done. From the design of 'power-smart' chips and systems to the development of...

Dynamic Power Management Policies for Embedded Systems
Power consumption is a key issue in the design of embedded systems today as it directly affects their battery life. The battery technology has not been able to match the advancements in the hardware that drives these systems in the recent years. Dynamic power management (DPM) [1] ? which refers to the selective shutdown of system components that are idle or underutilized ? has proven to be a particularly effective technique for reducing...
