Abstract

A method comprising of analyzing and transforming a program executable at compile-time such that a processor design objective is optimized. A method including analyzing an executable to estimate energy consumption of an application component in a processor. A method including transforming an executable to reduce energy consumption in a processor. A processor framework controlled by compiler inserted control that statically exposes parallelism in an instruction sequence. A processor framework to reduce energy consumption in an instruction memory system with compiler inserted control.
