Voltage Scheduling in the lpARM Microprocessor System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microprocessors represent a significant portion of the energy consumed in portable electronic devices. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) allows a device to reduce energy consumption by lowering its processor speed at run-time, allowing a corresponding reduction in processor voltage and energy. A voltage scheduler determines the appropriate operating voltage by analyzing application constraints and requirements. A complete software implementation, including both applications and the underlying operating system, shows that DVS is effective at reducing the energy consumed without requiring extensive software modification.

Energy Efficient Voltage Scheduling for Real-Time Operating Systems
This paper applies the concept of real-time process scheduling to a Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) microprocessor. DVS allows a microprocessor to save energy by operating at the optimal voltage for the task at hand. Efficient operation requires a new class of algorithms which we term voltage schedulers. The necessary foundation for these algorithms is presented along with the foreseen implementa...

متن کاملDynamic Voltage and Frequency Scheduling for Embedded Processors Considering Power and Timing Constraints
An adaptive method to perform dynamic voltage and frequency scheduling (DVFS) for minimizing the energy consumption of microprocessor chips is presented. Instead of using a fixed update interval, the proposed DVFS system makes use of adaptive update intervals for optimal frequency and voltage scheduling. The optimization enables the system to rapidly track the workload changes so as to meet sof...
