Abstract

Mobile computing devices such as smartphones, tablet computers have become the dominant personal computing platforms. Energy efficiency is a prime design requirement for smart devices. In order to reduce the energy consumption of the smart devices, analysis of performance and energy consumption has become important. However, so far, there is no framework for the analysis and systematic approach to improve the power consumption of the heterogeneous multi-core system. In this paper, we describe a new framework for the analysis of heterogeneous multi-core systems. Also, by use of an analysis tool, can be provide reliability and productivity of development results.
