Hybrid Run-time Power Management Technique for Real-time Embedded System with Voltage Scalable Processor

Published:01 August 2001Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a new run-time power management technique for real-time embedded systems which consist of a voltage scalable processor and power controllable peripheral devices. We have observed that there exist significant trade-offs in terms of energy consumption between the Dynamic Power Management (DPM) scheme and the Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) scheme over a wide range of system operating conditions. The proposed technique fully exploits workload-variation slack time by partitioning the task into several timeslots and shut down the unneeded peripheral device on timeslot-by-timeslot basis. Through extensive simulations, the novelty and the usefulness of the proposed technique are demonstrated.
