Save power with virtual system prototyping
G.R. Hellestrand · Electronic Systems and Software · 2005
The designers of most electronic systems are concerned with minimising the amount of power that the system consumes. The problem is determining which implementation choices give the best power savings. Virtual system prototyping can show the hardware that will improve or worsen battery life. Characteristics such as performance and power for a complex system such as a cellphone - including its software determining such characteristics is some form of simulation. The virtual system prototype (VSP) provides a way of performing the simulation.
