| Abstract | Modeling energy consumption is a major concern when designing software systems such as a cloud service or for a mobile device (e.g., smartphone, laptop). Unfortunately, we have little knowledge on how decisions taken by a programmer may impact the energy profile of a system. This paper investigates the energy consumption in the Pharo programming language. We have closely monitored the power consumption of five micro-benchmarks and four macro-benchmarks. Our findings indicate that the way the memory is used has a significant impact on the power consumption. We propose a code profiler to measure the power consumption of any Pharo code expression. Our profiler is available under the MIT license and run on Pharo 5. |
