US 2019/0094931 A1 · ENERGY HARVESTING and AMBIENT CONDITION TRACKING in IoT for ADAPTIVE SENSING and SELF-MODIFYING APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Various embodiments of the invention may analyze previous patterns of harvested energy to predict future patterns of available harvested energy. This prediction may then be used to choose from among multiple methods of energy reduction techniques. The energy reduction techniques may include multiple versions of reducing or modifying instruction execution. Reduced instruction execution may include reducing the precision of various calculations.
