   SESSION 35
  Power-Constrained Design for Multimedia
  Chair: Richard Tobias - PixelWorks, Campbell, CA
  Organizers: Andrew B. Kahng, John Cohn

  This session presents a variety of design objectives and design solutions related to power constraints for multimedia applications. The first paper addresses energy-efficient messaging. The next paper offers new approaches to dynamic voltage and frequency scaling-based energy saving for multimedia systems: the second paper uses signature-based workload estimation, and the third paper applies DVFS in the context of gaming systems. The session closes with two short papers on design techniques for power minimization in mobile displays.
