  Abstract: We describe an algorithm for optimizing compilers for low
  power design. The algorithm can be applied to almost any c compiler
  and in particular we target gcc compiler. The algorithm works by
  modifying optimization table lookup of gcc.  This works in theory. We
  think such an algorithm will be able save at least 20% power. We
  compare with alternatives. We show it that idea is viable and
  theoretically prove that it will account for about 20% power savings.
  Another 40% of the power savings will come from branch prediction
  techniques based on profile guided optimization. Similarly, we
  optimize for size, which will produce 10% power savings. We believe
  our program will save power up to 75%
