Designing highly efficient embedded programs requires efficient tools to support performance monitoring and tuning of embedded software. Several such tools are available for various embedded processors. To effectively meet the energy consumption requirements of embedded systems, programmers try to understand the energy and power consumption of embedded systems as a high-priority monitoring target. The paper discusses SES, a highly integrated tool that delivers cycle-by-cycle power consumption data for optimizing embedded programs
