A survey on energy-aware profiler for mobile devices

Abstract

Contemporary designs for mobile devices sometimes lack of energyaware profiler thus require an optimized use of system power. Energy-aware profiler is one of the major parts in the energy management that plays an important role to minimize energy consumption in mobile devices. Many different methods and research efforts on energy-aware profiler have been discussed and proposed during the past few years. However, there is a little effort on summarizing and providing the generic requirement for energy-aware profilers in relation to mobile devices. In this paper we review several areas of classification in energy-aware profilers that have been recommended over the recent years. Moreover, we also discuss briefly on the categories, approaches and open challenges that related to energy profiler.
