Abstract / truncated to 115 words (read the full abstract)

The importance of power reduction of embedded systems has continuously increased in the past years. Recently, reducing power dissipation and energy consumption of a program have become optimization goals in their own right, no longer considered a side-effect of traditional performance optimizations which mainly target program execution time and/or program size. Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for developing power-optimizing compilers for embedded systems. This thesis is a step towards such important goal. In this thesis, we develop functional-level power models and investigate several software optimization techniques for embedded-processor systems. As a specific example, we consider the powerful Texas Instruments C6416T DSP processor. We analyze the power consumption contributions of the different functional units of ... toggle 6 keywords
