A HARDWARE PLATFORM FOR EVALUATING LOW-ENERGY MULTIPROCESSOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS BASED ON COTS DEVICES

A HARDWARE PLATFORM FOR EVALUATING LOW-ENERGY MULTIPROCESSOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS BASED ON
COTS DEVICES
ABSTRACT

Embedded systems are usually energy constrained. Moreover, in these systems increased productivity and reduced time-to-market are essential for product success. To design complex embedded systems while reducing the development time and cost, there is a great tendency to use “COTS” (commercial off-the-shelf) devices. At system level, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is one of the most effective techniques for energy reduction. Nonetheless, many widely used COTS processors either do not have DVFS or apply DVFS only to processor cores. In this paper, an easy-to-implement COTS based evaluation platform for low-energy embedded systems is presented. To achieve energy saving DVFS is provided for the whole microcontroller (including core, PLL, memory and I/O). Also, facilities are provided for experimenting with fault tolerance techniques.
The platform is equipped with energy measurement and debugging equipment. Physical experiments show that applying DVFS on the whole microcontroller provides up to 47% and 12% energy saving compared with the sole use of Dynamic Power Management (DPM) and applying DVFS only on the core, respectively. Although the platform is designed for ARM-based embedded systems, our approach is general and can be applied to other types of systems.

ABSTRACT

MULTI USER GSM BASED DIGITAL SCROLLING LED DISPLAY WITH PASSWORD AND VOICE ABSTRACT The project mainly focuses on transmission of textual data through air interface by the use of GSM through asynchronous serial communication. The data will be processed by the microcontroller it programmed by embedded c language by using KEIL C compiler. The data will be displayed on led display on LED only after entering unique pass key. Existing System: How a reliable and an authentic wireless communication could be easily developed between a mobile phone and microcontroller using GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) MODEM (Modulator-Demodulator). This technical paper explains GSM based e-notice board which can be widely used for multitude of applications including educational sector, traffic control, banks, and public advertisements, stoke exchanges etc. Proposed System: In this project we not only send the data, but send the data with pass code also. Which enables us to preve...

A SHOULDER SURFING RESISTANT GRAPHICAL AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM

A SHOULDER SURFING RESISTANT GRAPHICAL AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM ABSTRACT Authentication based on passwords is used largely in applications for computer security and privacy. However, human actions such as choosing bad passwords and inputting passwords in an insecure way are regarded as”the weakest link” in the authentication chain. Rather than arbitrary alphanumeric strings, users tend to choose passwords either short or meaningful for easy memorization. With web applications and mobile apps piling up, people can access these applications anytime and anywhere with various devices. This evolution brings great convenience but also increases the probability of exposing passwords to shoulder surfing attacks. Attackers can observe directly or use external recording devices to collect users’ credentials. To overcome this problem, we proposed a novel authentication system PassMatrix, based on graphical passwords to resist shoulder surfing attacks. With a one-time valid login indicator and ...
