As the performance of the mobile terminal becomes higher, the power consumption gradually increases. As a result, power management is one of the most important issues in mobile system with battery. In this paper, we describe an DPM(Dynamic Power Management) using DVS(Dynamic Power Management) as a power management mechanism in Qplus operating system. DVS generally considers a specific device such as CPU, whereas we consider the relations with other hardware components as well as each component. We specially focus on the relation between CPU, memory and LCD devices. We also designs a kernel monitor to collect information to decide the policy for power management. According to the experimental results, the proposed method enables to save much power.

Vehicle detector system based on image processing technology is a significant domain of ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) applications due to its advantages such as low installation cost and it does not obstruct traffic during the installation of vehicle detection systems on the road[1]. In this paper, we propose architecture for vehicle detection by using image processing. The architecture consists of two main parts such as an image processing part, using high speed FPGA, decision and calculation part using CPU. The CPU part takes care of total system control and synthetic decision of vehicle detection. The FPGA part assumes charge of input and output image using video encoder and decoder, image classification and image memory control.

The efficiently power management Is an important requirement traditionally in the mobile communication system which uses battery as their power source. Especially, it has been emphasized in the most recent devices, which has to provide high performance and various functions with an extended operating time. In this article, the adaptive Power management technique for the core processor unit in embedded systems used widely for the mobile system thanks to its advantage on power consumption and physical site, is proposed.

Power continues to be a driving force in central processing units (CPU) design. Most of the advanced breakthroughs in power have been in a realm that is applicable to workstation CPUs. Advanced power management systems will manage temperature, dynamic voltage scaling and dynamic frequency scaling in a CPU. The use of power management systems for microcontrollers and embedded CPUs has been modest, and mostly focuses on very large scale integration (VLSI) level optimizations compared to system level optimizations. In this paper, a dynamic frequency controlling (DFC) technique is introduced, to lay the foundation of a system level power management system for commercial microcontrollers. The DFC technique allows a commercial microcontroller to have minor modifications on both the hardware and software side, to allow the clock frequency to change to save power; results in this study show a 10% savings. By adding an additional layer of software abstraction at the interrupt level, the microcontroller can operate without having knowledge of the current clock frequency, and this can be accomplished without having to use an embedded operating system.

Mobile Telemedicine uses common technologies that provide a conduit for information exchange between physicians nurses and patients. In addition to patient records, medical professionals will obtain vital signs and other reference data through Ubiquitous Sensor networks(USN). In this paper about a design and implementation of RFID reader platform that received RFID tag information from patients tags, transmit the data to SBC(Single board computer) based on Intel PXA255 ARM CPU and SBC transmit the data to MySQL server in hospital using by Wireless Internet. his system that based on Embedded Linux is composed of RFID module, ARM processor, RS-232 interface, and Wireless LAN. This paper also provides a brief overview and concept of RFID reader, and proposes the design and implementations of the RFID reader platform used QT and MySQL based on Embedded Linux.

Active object is an Independent runnable unit which is scheduled by CPU in creation time. In this paper, we define the active object and suggest ART(Active object RunTime support systems) which controls creation and execution of the active object. ART can Provide users locational transparency and support easy method call mechanism. We also designed a communication model among active objects and implemented a communication method to make the distributed programing possible. The implementation target platform of ART is an embedded system which has only limited resources and runs in the distributed computing environment.

Recently multiple process communicate together. They share resource and information for cooperation in complicated programming environment. Kernel provides IPC (Inter -Process Communication) for communication with each other process. Shared Memory is a technique that many processes can access to identical memory area in the Linux environment. In this paper, we propose a performance improvement method of shared memory in the dual-core embedded linux system which is consist of different core and different operating system. We construct the MPC2530F (ARM926F+ARM946E) linux system and measure the performance therein. We attempt a performance enhancement in each CPU for each process which uses a shared memory.

Embedded business will be expanded market more and more since customers seek more wearable and ubiquitous systems. Cellular telephones, PDAs, notebooks and portable multimedia devices could bring higher microprocessor revenues and more rewarding improvements in performance and functions. Increasing battery capacity is still creeping along the roadmap. Until a small practical fuel cell becomes available, microprocessor developers must come up with power-reduction methods. According to MPR 2003, the instruction and data caches of ARM920T processor consume $44\%$ of total processor power. The rest of it is split into the power consumptions of the integer core, memory management units, bus interface unit and other essential CPU circuitry. And the relationships among CPU, peripherals and caches may change in the future. The processor working on higher operating frequency will exact larger cache RAM and consume more energy. In this paper, we propose advanced low power trace cache which caches traces of the dynamic instruction stream, and reduces cache access times. And we evaluate the performance of the trace cache and estimate the power of the trace cache, which is compared with conventional cache.
