Android Kernel with EAS For Better Power Management

摘要

Improving the CPU performance and frequency is the main aim of OEMs (original equipment manufacturer) in today's world. The clock speed is being increased with every new chipset while promising lower power consumption without considering the manner in which the device gets used. This paper talks about the way android kernel utilizes EAS (Energy Aware Scheduling) techniques to ensure optimum utilization of CPU (Central Processing Unit) frequency without consuming extra energy. EAS is supposed to provide about 30% reduction in battery by aptly distributing the work load amongst the CPU cores.
