Abstract
Increasing the importance of Green IT brings low-power consumption requirements for embedded software into relief. This paper focus on the power analysis techniques of embedded software along with the trend. We survey the existing research on the power analysis techniques performed during the last decade, and find out some features or characteristics from the analysis approaches of those techniques. Also we summarize those characteristics into a systematic model, and then apply the model to embedded software development process using spider diagram. Our suggestion gives such benefits as improving the understanding of power analysis techniques, guiding the choice of an appropriate technique to their Power analysis, and forecasting the direction of technology changes in embedded software power analysis.
