The design of embedded systems is a complex activity that involves a lot of decisions. With high performance demands of present day usage scenarios and software, they often involve energy hungry state-of-the-art computing units. While focusing on power consumption of computing units, the physical properties of software are often ignored. Recently, there has been a growing interest to quantify and model the physical footprint of software (e.g. consumed power, generated heat, execution time, etc.), and a component based approach facilitates methods for describing such properties. Based on these, software architects can make energy-efficient software design solutions. This paper presents power consumption and execution time profiling of a component software that can be allocated on heterogeneous computing units (CPU, GPU, FPGA) of a tracked robot.
