Abstract:
Power consumption is a paramount concern in battery-powered mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. With powerful hardware and rich applications, modern mobile devices are becoming increasingly power hungry, but the power supply of batteries is very limited. As a result, it is desirable to better manage the power consumption of mobile devices. This tutorial will give in-depth discussions on two key aspects of power management of mobile devices: power modeling and power optimization. The former is to understand how the energy is consumed and the latter is to use the energy efficiently. A broad view of the state of the art will be covered and the intended audiences are the students and researchers who are interested in energy efficiency in mobile devices.
