We explore the application of robust CPU-based power modelling methodology that performs an automatic search of explanatory events derived from performance counters to embedded GPUs and heterogenous systems that combine GPUs and CPUs. A 64-bit Tegra TX1 SoC is configured with DVFS enabled and multiple CUDA benchmarks are used to train and test models optimized for each frequency and voltage point. These optimized models are then compared with a simpler unified model that uses a single set of model coefficients for all frequency and voltage points of interest. To obtain this unified model, a number of experiments are conducted to extract information on idle, clock and static power to derive power usage from a single reference equation. T
