SoftExplorer: Estimation, Characterization, and Optimization of the Power and Energy Consumption at the Algorithmic Level
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present SoftExplorer, a tool to estimate and analyze the power and energy consumption of an algorithm from the C program. The consumption of every loop is analyzed, and the influence of the data mapping is characterized. Several models of processor are available, from the simple RISC ARM7 to the very complex VLIW DSP TI-C67. Cache misses, pipeline stalls, and internal / external memory accesses are taken into account. We show how to analyze and optimize the power and energy consumption, and how to choose a processor and its operating frequency, for a MPEG-1 decoder. We also explain how to find the best data mapping for a DSP application.

SoftExplorer: Estimating and Optimizing the Power and Energy Consumption of a C Program for DSP Applications
We present a method to estimate the power and energy consumption of an algorithm directly from the C program. Three models are involved: a model for the targeted processor (the power model), a model for the algorithm, and a model for the compiler (the prediction model). A functional-level power analysis is performed to obtain the power model. Five power models have been developed so far, for di...
