INSTRUCTION SCHEDULING BASED ON POWER ESTIMATION

In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a memory to include at least one power value associated with at least one instruction. The at least one power value indicating an amount of power required to execute the at least one associated instruction by the apparatus. The apparatus also includes an instruction scheduler to receive the at least one power value and the at least one instruction. The instruction scheduler is to schedule the at least one instruction for execution by at least one functional unit based on the at least one associated power value.
