Abstract
An electronic device having a processor powered by a power source may be operated by providing a plurality of program portions individually executable by the processor for performing the same computing function. Each program portion causes the processor to exhibit a different instantaneous power consumption profile while performing the computing function. A particular program portion is selected based on at least one characteristic of the power source and executed on the processor to perform the computing function.
