Predicting Program Power Consumption
Chandra Krintz, Ye Wen, Rich Wolski · 2002
In this paper, we investigate the degree to which power dissipation induced by program execution can be measured by application-level software tools and predicted by a compiler and runtime system. Application control of the power it uses while executing on a processor is critical to battery-powered mobile devices that are an integral to any realization of ubiquitous computing. Our work investigates the use of dissipation rates to make whole-program power-consumption estimates.
