PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for modifying a program so as to improve power characteristics of a software program by identifying the power characteristics of the software program. SOLUTION: A power measurement unit is coupled to a data processor to determine a profile of the power used by the data processor during execution of the software program. A memory stores the power profile. The power measurement unit and memory may be integrated on the same chip as the data processor. The system may determine and store the power profile without interrupting execution of the program. The power profile may include multiple power level values associated with intervals during the execution of the program, over-threshold counts, or other power metrics. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
