Survey of Novel Architectures for Energy Efficient High-Performance Mobile Computing Platforms

摘要

There are many real-world applications that require high-performance mobile computing systems for onboard, real-time processing of gathered data due to latency, reliability, security, or other application constraints. Unfortunately, most existing high-performance mobile computing systems require a prohibitively high power consumption in the face of the limited power available from the batteries typically used in these applications. For high-performance mobile computing to be practical, alternative hardware designs are needed to increase the computing performance while minimizing the required power consumption. This article surveys the state-of-the-art in high-efficiency, high-performance onboard mobile computing, focusing on the latest developments. It was found that more research is needed to design high-performance mobile computing systems while minimizing the required power consumption to meet the needs of these applications.
