The market for embedded applications is facing a growing interest in power consumption issues: this work is intended to provide a new model to estimate software-level power consumption of 32-bit microprocessors. This model extends previous ones by considering dynamic inter-instruction effects that take place during code execution, providing a static means to characterize their energy consumption. The model is formally sound: it is conceived for a generic architecture and it has been preliminary validated on the Intel486™ architectur.
