Abstract

An application for a reconfigurable virtual machine for wireless sensor networks consists of both bytecode and native code. Identifying the abstraction boundary between byte-code and native code has not been addressed systematically, yet. Up to now, a programmer has to specify the abstraction boundary manually without being able to judge his decision. We present a mathematical model for benchmarking the energy consumption of bytecode and native code. This model allows a founded specification of the abstraction boundary. In conjunction with an extended reconfigurable virtual machine architecture, it provides a flexible development method with less development effort than existing approaches.
