TY - Generic T1 - Power, Performance and Portability: System Design Considerations for Micro Air Vehicle Applications T2 - Sixth International Summer School on Advanced Computer Architecture and Compilation for Embedded Systems (ACACES) Y1 - 2010 A1 - Yakun Sophia Shao A1 - Judson Porter A1 - Michael Lyons A1 - Gu-Yeon Wei A1 - David Brooks AB - Recent years have seen an increased interest in Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) with applications ranging from search-and-rescue to mimicking insect behavior. MAVs have several challenging design requirements that impact processor design. These include real time processing demands and severe power/weight budgets. In this paper, we describe the characteristics of MAV applications and propose hardware acceleration to improve the power, performance, and portability of MAV system designs.
