You start with hope and a 10,000 mAh battery, and six months later, you&rsquo;re back in meeti...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/technologies/power-management/b/blog/posts/designing-for-ultra-low-power-strategies-for-edge-and-battery-powered-devicesThu, 18 Dec 2025 21:09:25 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:919cc485-fc0f-4af9-b804-234194045690DAB0<p>Many decades ago I built software to analyze the timing of computers to make sure that they would meet real time performance requirements.</p> <p>The same basic structure could be used to model the energy used by computer archetectures so that you could predict battery life for a given architecture.</p> <p>It would not take a lot of effort, but it would be beyond my current capabilities.</p> <p>If anyone would like to try, feel free to contact me and I can give you an overview of what I did and how you could put it together.</p> <p>Back then I used Pascal, so Python would be a easy way to build this type of analysis tool.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=29426&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
