The Light and Dark Sideof Optimization

• Speed-optimized code
  • May consume less energy
  • But often sacrifices memory

• Memory-optimized code
  • May reduce memory accesses and hence energy consumption
  • But generally slows down code

• Power-optimized code
  • Can mean optimizing for speed
  • But may just as well slow down code

• Performance advantage vs. development time
