Research Abstract |
This research seeks to create embedded computer systems running with renewable energy like solar energy. This research developed the following three items ; 1) a low power memory subsystem stably running with a low supply voltage around 0.5V, 2) a scalable processor which dynamically scales its performance and the power consumption, 3) a power estimation model which can analyze the energy consumption of application programs running on a cellar phone within an error of 10%.
