SOFLOPO: Towards Systematic Software Exploitation for Low-Power Designs

International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design - ISLPED'00, Palace Rapallo/Portofino Coast, Italy, July 26-27, 2000.

Abstract: The SOFLOPO project has dealt with the software-related energy-optimization for embedded applications. Based upon the fact that software has a conceivable impact upon the total energy dissipation, we tried to minimize this impact, using assembly-level code transformations. The instruction costs were obtained through the tried-and-tested methodology of physical measurements. Two target processors have been selected: the ARM7TDMI RISC processor and the Motorola DSP56156 DSP processor. The obtained results were verified upon a commercial implementation of the IEEE 802.11 wireless multimedia protocol.
