Abstract
A set of instructions executable at an integrated circuit is partitioned into multiple instruction blocks. A first and second instruction block are executed multiple times, including a first execution and a second execution. The first execution of the first instruction block is associated with a first set of executions, and the first execution of the second instruction block is associated with a second set of executions. A first amount of energy consumption representative of a member of the first set of executions is determined, and a second amount of energy consumption representative of a member of the second set of executions is determined. The first amount of energy is assigned to each member of the first set, and the second amount of energy is assigned to each member of the second set, and used to determine a total amount of energy consumption associated with execution of the set of instructions.
