Abstract
This paper proposes a dynamic power management al-
gorithm based on an evolutionary algorithm for minimisa-
tion of power on a system on chip (SoC) evolvable hard-
ware (EHW) systems. The algorithm is specially designed
to operate within an embedded microcontroller processor
such as the ARM. The paper describes the algorithm, its
implementation on an ARM based embedded processor and
provides results demonstrating power consumption of the
algorithm itself using different ARM instruction sets.
