title: Estimate Power Consumption Based on Running Time Analysis / Code Size
body: <p>I've developed and tested a C program on my PC and now I want to give an estimate of the power consumption required for the program to do a single run. I've analysised the running time of the application and of invidiual function calls within the application and I know the code size both in assembly lines, but also raw C lines.</p>
  
  <p>How would I give an estimate of the power consumption based on the performance analysis and/code size? I suppose it scales with the amount of lines that uses the CPU for computations or does memory access but I was hoping for a more precise answer.</p>
  
  <p>Also, how would I tell the difference between the power consumption on say my PC compared to a on a microchip device?</p>
