Abstract :
A design method for handling increasingly dynamic real-time embedded-system applications can help developers cope with stringent system and market requirements. This method groups an application´s operation modes into application scenarios and describes how to incorporate them in the overall design process. An automated scenario-based design trajectory reduces the energy consumption of a streaming application running on a single processor platform via dynamic voltage and frequency scaling.
