HIGH-LEVEL METRICS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY EVALUATION

This paper tries to gather together all the aspects that are important to implement or evaluate energy efficiency techniques in mobile computing devices. The main goal of our work presented in this paper is to propose, implement and validate a set of high-level metrics. for energy efficiency evaluation of computing systems or Dynamic Power Management (DPM) software frameworks. Using these efficiency metrics we intend to evaluate and identify the hardware system and DPM software which are the most efficient in terms of energy to run certain application. The original aspects of the current work are the proposed evaluation framework for energy efficiency, power consumption metrics definition and classification, new evaluation test cases for energy efficiency and analysis of experimental results.
