Abstract

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling of the CPU has been identified as one of the most effective ways to reduce energy consumption of a program. In this paper we present a compiler framework to reduce the energy consumption on embedded systems. The DVS technology was applied in the compiler. Simulation results show that CPU energy can save to 13%-15% for the Intel Xscale PXA250 benchmark with a time performance penalty of at most 5%.
