Abstract:

Energy consumption is a key constraint for many IoT edge nodes as they operate from batteries, have battery backup with energy harvesting. At the same time, IoT applications are continually evolving to add features and functions such as voice or gesture user interface and security, challenging designers to balance energy consumption and performance. Flexible and configurable processor architectures and subsystems enable designers to meet performance demands without sacrificing energy efficiency. This talk after analyzing a vividly changing IoT market presents techniques and options to reduce system power and increase security.
