Abstract
A method of providing a programmer with a visualization of power usage. The method is especially suitable for integration within a debugging process (FIG. ). A windows-type display ( ) displays sections of computer code ( ), as well as numerical values representing power usage ( ). Next to each section of code, some sort of visual representation of power usage is displayed, such as a bar of a bar graph ( ). Alternatively, the code can be highlighted if power usage exceeds a given threshold, or comments can be provided next to the code for optimizing power usage.
