Abstract
Predicting Program Power Consumption
by: Chandra Krintz, Ye Wen, and Rich Wolski
Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate the degree to which power dissipationinduced by program execution can be measured by application-levelsoftware 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.
