設計穿戴式醫療裝置來監控與記錄資料，將會面臨缺乏有效動態功耗管理的挑戰。本論文提出一種功耗最佳化排程設計，運用於新型微控制器（microcontroller unit, MCU）、使用鏈結式直接記憶體存取（Linked DMA, LDMA）與即時作業系統（real-time operating system, RTOS）、整合多模態應用需求的實作方式，在不犧牲性能的前提下，得以最小化系統的運作功耗以及CPU所需執行時間。LDMA與傳統DMA不同之處，在於能夠獨立自主處理一連串的輸入、輸出操作，得以節省主處理器的執行指令數量，藉此獲得更多進入節能模式的機會。實驗數據顯示，相較於傳統DMA的設計方式，使用LDMA可以讓主處理器的使用率減少36%，進而節省4%的整體能源消耗。

A challenge with designing wearable medical devices is that they need to be monitoring and logging data and cannot be easily power managed by dynamic power management (DPM) techniques. This thesis proposes a power-mode scheduling method on the microcontroller unit (MCU) for multimodality sensing while taking advantage of the novel “linked direct-memory access” (LDMA) on modern MCUs and Micrium OS to minimize power consumption and execution time by the processor core while maintaining the required performance. Unlike traditional DMA, LDMA enables the controller to autonomously handle a sequence of transactions that would require processor instructions to control in traditional DMA. Experimental results show a reduction of 36% CPU utilization, which results in 4% energy savings in system-level compared to baseline DMA.
