A high-level model of embedded flash energy consumption
James Pallister, Kerstin Eder, Simon Hollis, Jeremy Bennett · 2014
The alignment of code in the flash memory of deeply embedded SoCs can have a large impact on the total energy consumption of a computation. We investigate the effect of code alignment in six SoCs and find that a large proportion of this energy (up to 15% of total SoC energy consumption) can be saved by changes to the alignment.
