Source code profiling for line-level latency and energy consumption estimation

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving source code of an application;
• providing intermediate code based on the source code, the intermediate code comprising at least one instruction for profiling at least one line of the source code;
• providing profiling data by processing the intermediate code;
• processing the profiling data based on one or more of a latency model and an energy model to respectively provide at least one latency metric and at least one energy metric of the at least one line;
• and
• storing modified source code that is provided based on a modification of the at least one line of source code.
