An Adaptive Chip-Multiprocessor Architecture for Future Mobile Terminals

Power consumption has become an increasingly important factor in the field of computer architecture. It affects issues such as heat dissipation and packaging cost, which in turn affects the design and cost of a mobile terminal. Today, a lot of effort is put into the design of architectures and software implementation to increase performance. However, little is done on a system level to minimize power consumption, which is crucial in mobile systems
