Abstract
The rate at which power-management features have evolved is nothing short of amazing. Today almost every size and class of computer system, from the smallest sensors and handheld devices to the "big iron" servers in data centers, offers a myriad of features for reducing, metering, and capping power consumption. Without these features, fan noise would dominate the office ambience, and untethered laptops would remain usable for only a few short hours (and then only if one could handle the heat), while data-center power and cooling costs and capacity would become unmanageable.

Software power optimization: analysis and optimization for energy-efficient software
ISLPED '11: Proceedings of the 17th IEEE/ACM international symposium on Low-power electronics and designSoftware is increasingly becoming a central issue in low power consumer based system. The amount of energy consumed by software has severe battery impact on the system. Minimizing power consumption is one of the primary challenges that today's ...
Efficient DVFS for low power HEVC software decoder
Low power design is a primary concern for modern battery-driven devices and video applications such as video decoding are often the most resource intensive applications of consumer electronics devices. Modern embedded processors are now proven to ...
Software Power Optimizations In An Embedded System
VLSID '01: Proceedings of the The 14th International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID '01)The topic of reducing power dissipation in embedded systems has received considerable attention in the recent years. Techniques have been reported to minimize energy dissipation through (a) selection of better algorithms for the application e.g. DSP ...
