Summary :

Energy consumption is one of the most critical constraints in the design of portable embedded systems. This paper describes an empirical study about the impacts of compiler optimizations on the energy consumption of the address bus between processor and instruction memory. Experiments using a number of real-world applications are presented, and the results show that transitions on the instruction address bus can be significantly reduced (by 85% on the average) by the compiler optimizations together with bus encoding.
