Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the degree to which power dissipation
induced by program execution can be measured by application-level
software 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.
