The goal of this project is to develop an integratedhardware/software infrastructure to support power management forbattery-powered mobile and wireless applications. These futureenvironments will support applications with demanding requirementssuch as disaster recovery. Energy conservation, especially formobile and embedded devices, promises to have significant economic,environmental, and societal impacts.The activities focus on three key directions: i) the development ofpower measurement tools, workloads, and experimental methods toevaluate energy consumption, ii) the energy-aware APIs to allowapplication-directed power management, and iii) the development ofsystem support for high-level solutions.These research projects all rely on experimental techniques forevaluating ideas. Making empirical measurements and observations ondevice and workload characteristics pinpoints the problem areas ofgreatest potential. Initially formulating simulation models narrowsthe solution space and allows consideration of new architectures.Finally, constructing working prototypes allows observation of allactivity associated with real operating environments and offersdeeper insights into their behavior. The popularity andaccessibility of the palmtop and handheld platforms gives thisresearch significant potential for immediate technology transfer.

该项目的目标是开发一个集成的硬件/软件基础设施，以支持电池供电的移动的和无线应用的电源管理。 这些未来环境将支持具有苛刻要求的应用程序，如灾难恢复。 节能，特别是移动和嵌入式设备的节能，有望产生重大的经济、环境和社会影响。活动集中在三个关键方向：i）开发功率测量工具、工作负载和实验方法来评估能耗，ii）能量感知API，以允许应用程序导向的功率管理，这些研究项目都依赖于实验技术来评估想法。对设备和工作负载特征进行经验性测量和观察，可以确定最具潜力的问题领域。最初制定的仿真模型缩小了解决方案的空间，并允许考虑新的架构。最后，构建工作原型允许观察与真实的操作环境相关的所有活动，并提供对其行为的更深入的见解。 掌上电脑和手持平台的普及和可访问性使这项研究具有立即进行技术转让的巨大潜力。
