Enhancing developer tool chain and runtime for sustainable software development

A computer system, comprising:

• at least one processing resource;
• and
• a storage device storing instructions which when executed by the at least one processing resource comprise instructions to:
• identify, in a program, a region of code annotated with a power profile;
• translate the program based on a compiler or an interpreter;
• insert, in the translated program based on the annotated region of code, a call to a power-control function corresponding to the power profile;
• and
• perform a power-saving operation at or before runtime execution of the translated program based on the inserted call to the power-control function.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which when executed by a processing resource comprise instructions to:

• identify, in a program, a region of code annotated with a power profile;
• translate the program based on a compiler or an interpreter;
• insert, in the translated program based on the annotated region of code, a call to a power-control function corresponding to the power profile, wherein the power profile comprises a power-saving operation to be performed at or before runtime execution of the translated annotated region of code;
• and
• perform the power-saving operation at or before runtime execution of the translated program based on the inserted call to the power-control function.
