Can we optimize code to reduce power consumption?

Question

Are there any techniques to optimize code in order to ensure lesser power consumption.Architecture is ARM.language is C

Answer 1

Optimizing code to use less power is, effectively, just optimizing code. Regardless of whether your motives are monetary, social, politital or the like, fewer CPU cycles = less energy used. What I'm trying to say is I think you can probably replace "power consumption" with "execution time", as they would, essentially, be directly proportional - and you therefore may have more success when not "scaring" people off with a power-related question. I may, however, stand corrected :)
