Question

Which model is based on precise measurements using real hardware?

(a) encc energy-aware compiler

(b) first power model

(c) third power model

(d) second power model

I got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

Query is from Compilers in division Implementing Embedded System: Hardware/Software Codesign of Embedded Systems

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) encc energy-aware compiler

Easy explanation: The encc-energy aware compiler uses the energy model by Steinke et al. it is based on the precise measurements of the real hardware. The power consumption of the memory, as well as the processor, is included in this model.
