Performance Augmentation Of Mobile Devices Using Cloud Computing

Abstract—Smartphones are now becoming extremely popular with an extensive range of heavy applications like gaming, video editing, and face recognition etc. These kinds of applications constantly require intensive computational power, memory, and battery. But even if Smartphones has this extensive range of applications it faces the challenge of limited processing power, memory, battery, storage, energy, etc. To overcome this problem the solution that is well known today is offloading the computation extensive task to the cloud and executing it on cloud and bringing back results on the mobile. This procedure is called as computation offloading. Many studies have been carried on till now on this computation offloading. In this paper we have proposed efficient offloading algorithm which will determine at the runtime whether to offload computation on cloud or to execute the task locally.
