Abstract

See full text

A system for optimizing energy efficiency of an embedded system. A hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is coupled to hardware of an embedded system. An energy hardware abstraction layer (eHAL) couples to the hardware and to the HAL. A hypervisor couples to the HAL and to the eHAL. One or more applications couple to the hypervisor, the HAL and the eHAL. The eHAL measures energy use of the embedded system, constructs a model of energy use of the embedded system and, using the model, determines how to one of reduce and minimize energy use of the embedded system. The hypervisor is configured to alter one or more hardware parameters to one of reduce and minimize energy use of the embedded system as the embedded system performs one or more tasks. In implementations a real time operating system (RTOS) is coupled to the one or more applications and to the hypervisor.
