Optimizing Embedded Software for Power
Robert Oshana
One of the most important considerations in the product life-cycle of an embedded project is to understand and optimize the power consumption of the device. Power consumption is highly visible for hand-held devices which require battery power to be able to guarantee certain minimum usage/idle times between recharging. Other main embedded applications, such as medical equipment, test, measurement, media, and wireless base stations, are very sensitive to power as well – due to the need to manage the heat dissipation of increasingly powerful processors, power supply cost, and energy consumption cost – so the fact is that power consumption cannot be overlooked. The responsibility for ...
