SEProf: A high-level software energy profiling tool for an embedded processor enabling power management functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Energy efficiency has become one of the most important design issues for embedded systems. To examine the power consumption of an embedded system, an energy profiling tool is highly demanded. Although a number of energy profiling tools have been proposed, they are not directly applicable to the embedded processors with power management functions that are widely utilized in battery-operated embedded

Code Coverage-Based Power Estimation Techniques for Microprocessors
We have developed a function-level power estimation methodology for predicting the power dissipation of embedded software. For a given microprocessor core, we empirically build the “power data bank”, which stores the power information of the built-in library functions and basic instructions. To estimate the average power of an embedded software on this core, we first decompose the machine code ...
متن کاملMEMTRACE: a memory, performance and energy profiler targeting RISC-based embedded systems for data intensive applications
The design of embedded hardware/software systems is often subject to strict requirements concerning various aspects, including real time performance, energy consumption and die area. Especially for data-intensive applications, such as multimedia systems, the number of memory accesses is a dominant factor for these aspects. In order to meet the requirements and design a well-adapted system, it i...

Efforts to reduce energy consumption are being made across all disciplines. ICT’s contribution to global energy consumption and by-products such as CO2 emissions continues to grow, making it an increasingly significant area in which improvements must be made. This thesis focuses on software as a means to reducing energy consumption. It presents methods for profiling and modelling a multi-thread...
متن کاملEnergy Consumption in Embedded Systems
2 0740-7475/04/$20.00 © 2004 IEEE Copublished by the IEEE CS and the IEEE CASS IEEE Design & Test of Computers ALONG WITH SPEED AND COST, energy consumption is now a primary performance metric for battery-operated embedded systems. A well-designed embedded system should be globally optimized to the target application, from the user interface to the device technology. This type of global optimiz...
متن کاملParallel Embedded Systems: Where Real-Time and Low-Power Meet
This paper introduces a combination of models and proofs for optimal power management via Dynamic Frequency Scaling and Dynamic Voltage Scaling. The approach is suitable for systems on a chip or microcontrollers where processors run in parallel with embedded peripherals. We have developed a software tool, called CASTLE, to provide computer assistance in the design process of energy-aware embedd...
