A method for determining how data will be encoded based upon decoding energy requirements. For one embodiment, a block of data may be encoded using various sets of encoding parameters to achieve a desired performance function. The energy required to decode the data block is evaluated for encoding with each set of encoding parameters. The set of encoding parameters that minimizes decoding energy consumption while satisfying the desired performance function is selected. In alternative embodiments, the performance function is comprised of one or more variables including decoding energy requirements and the set of encoding parameters is selected to maximize the performance function. For one embodiment the encoded data may be decoded to measure the energy required for decoding. In an embodiment, energy-consumption models may be created to evaluate decoding energy requirements for each encoding option.
