A Survey of Software Optimization Techniques for Low-Power Consumption

نویسنده

  • Oscar Acevedo
چکیده

Power consumption in embedded applications can be reduced either by hardware, software or both. Each instruction of a given program activates specific parts of the microprocessor. Therefore, the election of the correct instruction can generate a reduction of the power consumed by the processor. This paper presents a survey of software power reduction techniques from several authors and the future work that will be realized for the Power PC 603E microprocessor.
