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...
