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.

PUNCHING MACHINE

ACCIDENT AVOIDING SYSTEM FOR PUNCHING MACHINE SYNOPSIS The aim of our project is to take a system-wide approach to preventing the machine accident. The system includes not just the machine and the operator; but rather, it includes everything from the initial design of the machine to the training of everyone that is responsible for any aspect of it, to the documentation of all changes, to regular safety audits and a finally a corporate culture of safety-first. Design is the part of a machine's life where the greatest impact can be made in relation to avoiding accidents. The designer should ensure that the machine is safe to set up and operate, safe to install, safe to maintain, safe to repair, and safe to decommission. Although safe operation is usually at the forefront of a designer's mind, safe maintenance and repair should also be a high priority. Around 50% of fatal accidents involving industrial equipment are associated with maintenance activities, and design...
