Abstract
This paper presents an innovative way to control power consumption in embedded microprocessors. A combination of software profiling, voltage-scaling and frequency throttling, along with run-time speed tables calibration and C++-like constructor and destructor functions is used. It is demonstrated that more power saving can be achieved by this hybrid system than can be achieved using only voltage scaling or frequency throttling.
