SHF:SMALL:Enabling and Supporting the Development of Energy-Efficient Software

在今天的固有？的计算环境是对电池寿命、热量产生、风扇噪音和总体潜在的高能源成本的关注。该项目解决了软件工程师如何设计和实现软件，并考虑其能源使用。经验研究表明，软件工程师目前不具备生产节能软件所需的知识。 他们缺乏做出影响其应用能耗的决策所需的信息，并且他们对这些影响的根本原因做出了错误的假设。这个项目将解决这些需求在软件工程师？的水平，使从业人员进一步提高能源使用的应用程序超越什么可以实现在较低的系统水平。该项目将通过开发新颖的自动分析来支持能源使用方面的决策，并将增加对软件工程级别决策的能源使用影响的理解，从而为最先进的技术做出贡献。 该项目将为软件工程师开发工具，以发现和应用减少其应用程序能源使用的修改。 这项研究是由经验研究驱动的，这些研究将工程决策与能源消耗联系起来。 项目中开发的工具和实验基础设施将公开发布，这将使研究人员和从业人员在项目上进行开发。的结果。

Inherent in today?s computing environments are concerns about battery life, heat creation, fan noise, and overall potentially high energy costs. This project addresses how software engineers can design and implement software with consideration for its energy usage. Empirical studies have shown that software engineers currently do not have the knowledge they need to produce energy-efficient software. They lack the information they need to make decisions affecting energy consumption of their applications, and they make incorrect assumptions about the underlying causes of those impacts. This project will address these needs at the software engineer?s level, enabling practitioners to further improve the energy usage of their applications beyond what can be achieved at the lower system levels. This project will contribute to the state of the art by developing novel, automatic analyses to support decision-making with regard to energy usage and will also increase understanding of the energy usage impacts of decisions made at the software engineering level. The project will develop tools for software engineers to discover and apply modifications that reduce the energy usage of their applications. The research is driven by empirical studies that related engineering decisions to energy consumption. The tools and experimental infrastructure developed within the project will be publicly released, which will let researchers and practitioners build on the project?s results.
