Wearable sensory devices are becoming the enabling technology for many applications in
healthcare and well-being, where computational elements are tightly coupled with the …

Embedded systems now include a very large proportion of the advanced products designed
in the world, spanning transport (avionics, space, automotive, trains), electrical and …

This new approach characterizes power dissipation on complex dsps. its processor model
relies on an initial functional-level power analysis of the target processor together with a …

Nowadays, a typical embedded system requires high performance to perform tasks such as
video encoding/decoding at run-time. It should consume little energy to work hours or even …

In this survey we describe the main research directions in pre-silicon power modeling and
post-silicon power characterization. We review techniques in power modeling and …

Shared memory is a common interprocessor communication paradigm for single-chip
multiprocessor platforms. Snoop-based cache coherence is a very successful technique that …

We present a method to estimate the power and energy consumption of an algorithm directly
from the C program. Three models are involved: a model for the targeted processor (the …

Current loop buffer organizations for very large instruction word processors are essentially
centralized. As a consequence, they are energy inefficient and their scalability is limited. To …

Users expect future handheld devices to provide extended multimedia functionality and
have long battery life. This type of application imposes heavy constraints on performance …

Modern consumers carry many electronic devices, like a mobile phone, digital camera, GPS,
PDA and an MP3 player. The functionality of each of these devices has gone through an …
