Optimization of application and system software for energy efficiency is of ecological, economical, and technical importance - and still challenging. Deficiency in adequate tooling support is a major issue, especially for system designers who build new energy-aware computing systems. This talk discusses today's best practices in energy-optimization of software, and shows how software developers benefit from recent research on energy-aware programming techniques.
