Abstract

We describe an automated environment to assist a system-on-a-chip designer to tune a microprocessor core to a particular application program that will run on the microprocessor, and vice-versa, with the goal of reducing embedded system power consumption. We limit such tuning to modifications that do not change the microprocessor instruction set, thus avoiding the large costs that would come with such a change. Our tuning environment for the 8051 microcontroller is freely-available on the web.
