In an effort towards an ubiquitous distribution of wireless devices‚ high bandwidth is clearly a desirable feature. The ubiquity constraints imposed by ambient intelligence‚ however‚ limit the possible choices‚ and higher bandwidth is not always the best choice. For example‚ high-bandwidth optical connections which require line-of-sight operations are clearly not suitable for outdoor connectivity. 38 AMBIENT INTELLIGENCE: IMPACT ON EMBEDDED SYSTEM DESIGN In addition‚ since bandwidth is related to the frequency range‚ it also affects coverage.
To meet cycle time constraints‚ micro-architecture has evolved toward deeply pipelined solutions‚ where only a few (8-12) stages of logic are available on the critical path of a stage. Fast clocks and high complexity imply high power consumption. Power consumption is indeed viewed as one of the most significant limitation to current evolutionary trends in microprocessor design [18]. Lowering power supply does not solve the problem‚ because design complexity and clock speed scale faster‚ and their compound effect swamps the benefits given by voltage scaling.
