Performance, energy characterizations and architectural implications of an emerging mobile platform benchmark suite - MobileBench

摘要

In this paper, we explore key microarchitectural features of mobile computing platforms that are crucial to the performance of smart phone applications. We create and use a selection of representative smart phone applications, which we call MobileBench that aid in this analysis. We also evaluate the effectiveness of current memory subsystem on the mobile platforms. Furthermore, by instrumenting the Android framework, we perform energy characterization for MobileBench on an existing Samsung Galaxy S III smart phone.
