Instruction level and operating system profiling for energy exposed software.

Instruction level and operating system profiling for energy exposed software.

Energy conscious software design can significantly improve the energy efficiency of a portable system. A software energy estimation technique using instruction class profiling is presented. The technique is shown to have an estimation error of less than 3% with trivial runtime overhead, based on a s...
