Publication number: 20150074636Abstract: A program optimizer includes an energy tracking system, an energy monitoring system, and a code generation control system. The energy tracking system measures a pulse signal of a DC-DC converter that provides energy to a processor. The energy monitoring system determines, based on values received from the energy tracking system, attributes of operation of the processor. The code generation control system determines whether the values indicate that the execution of a first version of a program uses an amount of energy that is outside a predefined energy range, and to: 1) identify a parameter of an instruction generator that if changed will cause a second version of the program, when to use an amount of energy that is within the predefined energy range; 2) change a value of the identified first parameter; and 3) produce a second version of the program based on the changed value of the first parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2013Publication date: March 12, 2015Inventors: Horst Diewald, Johann Zipperer, Peter Weber, Anton Brauchle

Publication number: 20150069857Abstract: A system and method for monitoring energy use in an electronic device. In one embodiment, an energy monitoring system includes a processor and an energy monitor module. The energy monitor module includes instructions that when executed cause the processor to receive values of measured parameters of a pulse signal that controls the switching of energy to an energy storage device in a switch mode power supply that provides power to an electronic device. The instructions also cause the processor to determine, based on the values of measured parameters, attributes of operation of the electronic device powered by the energy source during an interval corresponding to the measured parameters. The instructions further cause the processor to generate, based on the attributes of operation, a control signal that causes the electronic device to change the loading of the power supply by the electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2013Publication date: March 12, 2015Inventors: Horst Diewald, Johann Zipperer, Peter Weber, Anton Brauchle
