3. Integration of these techniques into hardware/software architectures

To illustrate the use of some of the techniques described, we take the example of the OMAP ^TM 4470 circuit from Texas Instruments, part of the OMAP4 family. This is a highly structured architecture designed to control and optimize power and energy consumption for mobile applications requiring a significant level of performance. This architecture contains processing, storage and communication units adapted to the functionalities/applications potentially integrated into this type of equipment. It also contains numerous mechanisms for...
