Correct Answer

Explanation

In 1974, Tiwari proposed the first power model for processors. The model includes so-called base costs and inter-instruction costs. Base costs refer to the energy consumed per instruction execution when an infinite sequence of that instruction is executed, while inter-instruction costs model the additional energy consumed by the processor when instructions change. Power models are important for estimating the power consumption of an embedded system, which is a critical consideration for battery-powered devices or those with limited power budgets.
