SoC低功耗设计中的DVS技术

随着系统芯片(SoC)集成更多的功能并采用更先进的工艺,它所面临的高性能与低功耗的矛盾越来越突出.动态电压调整(DVS)技术可以在不影响处理器性能的前提下,通过性能预测软件根据处理器的繁忙程度调整处理器的工作电压和工作频率,达到降低芯片功耗的目的.文中讨论了DVS技术降低功耗的可能性,介绍了如何利用两种不同的DVS技术让处理器根据当前的工作负荷运行在不同的性能水平上,以节省不必要的功耗.     

无线传感器网络动态电压调度算法

针对无线传感器网络的节点在运行状态提出了动态电压调度(DVS)算法。DVS是通过改变处理器的工作电压和工作频率来减少处理器的消耗能量。该方法首先必须对节点各部分发出的信号进行分析和预测,并根据预测后的信号对处理器设定处理速率,最后,设定合适的工作电压和工作频率。     

基于EWS的DVS在无线传感器网络中的应用

动态电压调度(DVS)通过使用EW S算法对任务量预测,并根据预测结果判断处理器该进入何种操作频率等级,使较小任务量使用较小的操作频率,从而减少了节点的能量消耗。仿真实验结果表明:该方法是有效的。

几种实时嵌入式系统DVS策略的分类比较

动态电压调节是一种有效的运用于实时嵌入式系统中的低功耗技术。实时嵌入式系统DVS技术不仅要实现系统功耗的降低,同时也要兼顾系统的实时性,满足任务的截止时间限。该文针对近几年实时嵌入式系统中DVS策略,首先介绍实时系统中DVS策略模型,对主流策略进行分类比较,并且对相应策略进行仿真,DVS策略可以取得10%～40%的能耗节省。     

Rapid Analysis of Volatile Release from Powders using Dynamic Vapor Sorption Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry

ABSTRACT: It is hypothesized that a dynamic vapor sorption instrument coupled with an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometer (APCI-MS) may be useful for rapid analysis of volatile release from dry food materials. Preliminary data from a related system (Vapor Generator Instrument-APCI-MS) was used to monitor release of volatiles from spray-dried food polymers as a function of relative humidity at 40 °C. The system demonstrated differences in volatile release as a function of volatile compound, relative humidity, and food polymer. Comparison of these data with data collected using traditional shelf life study methodologies, and concerns for the ability of the method to accurately reflect time-dependent changes are discussed.     

针对电压可调处理器的低功耗设计策略

在便携式系统的低功耗设计中，动态电源管理（Dynamic Power Management，DPM）和动态电压调节（Dynamic Voltage Scaling，DVS）已经成为比较通用的技术，并且很多实验数据表明DVS省电性能比DPM更为优越。本文针对电压可调的处理器，在理论证明的基础上提出了一种能够跟踪工作负载需求变化，在保证给定任务组中所有任务性能的同时实现系统能耗最优化的电压调节策略EOVSP（Energy Optimal Voltage Scaling Policy）。实验结果也表明，该策略在满足系统性能要求的前提下具有比一般DPM策略更好的省电性能。     

Combining Coarse-Grained Software Pipelining with DVS for Scheduling Real-Time Periodic Dependent Tasks on Multi-Core Embedded Systems

In this paper, we combine coarse-grained software pipelining with DVS (Dynamic Voltage/Frequency Scaling) for optimizing energy consumption of stream-based multimedia applications on multi-core embedded systems. By exploiting the potential of multi-core architecture and the characteristic of streaming applications, we propose a two-phase approach to solve the energy minimization problem for periodic dependent tasks on multi-core processors with discrete voltage levels. With our approach, in the first phase, we propose a coarse-grained task-level software pipelining algorithm called RDAG to transform the periodic dependent tasks into a set of independent tasks based on the retiming technique (Leiserson and Saxe, Algorithmica 6:5–35, 1991). In the second phase, we propose two DVS scheduling algorithms for energy minimization. For single-core processors, we propose a pseudo-polynomial algorithm based on dynamic programming that can achieve optimal solution. For multi-core processors, we propose a novel scheduling algorithm called SpringS which works like a spring and can effectively reduce energy consumption by iteratively adjusting task scheduling and voltage selection. We conduct experiments with a set of benchmarks from E3S (Dick 2008) and TGFF () based on the power model of the AMD Mobile Athlon4 DVS processor. The experimental results show that our technique can achieve 12.7% energy saving compared with the algorithms in Zhang et al. (2002) on average.
