Energy analysis in the CodeCompass system

Green computing has an increasing importance in software engineering. Unfortunately, there are lack of tools on this field to help developers to understand and fix issues related to unwanted energy consumption. The thesis project will provide Software (sw) eng. with information about energy consumption of functions and methods. The CodeCompass system helps software developers to understand their source code, and it was developed by the Hungarian team members of Ericsson. Thus, I will locate hot spots in the software’s source code responsible for abnormal energy consumption, and I will do a plug-in to extend the CodeCompass tool so that it can automatically locate such energy faults, helping software developers to optimize the energy consumption of their software.
