Intelligent Energy Management Technology

Intelligent Energy Management (IEM)

The IEM technology uses a technique called Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) to implement the power and energy savings.

The IEM technology consists of the following components:
- IEM Software (OS and Applications) (Linux Kernel 2.6 Patch)
- Intelligent Energy Controller (IEC)
- Advanced Power Controller (APC)



ARM Physical IP:
- Metro
- Advantage
- Advantage-HS
