DOIAbstract
The increasing number of mobile devices with ever-growing capabilities makes them useful for running scientific applications. However, these applications have high computational demands, whereas mobile devices have limited capabilities when compared with non-mobile devices. More importantly, mobile devices rely on batteries for their power supply. We initially measure the battery consumption of different versions of known micro-benchmarks representing common programming primitives found in scientific applications. Then, we analyze the performance of such micro-benchmarks in CPU-intensive mobile applications. We apply good programming practices and code refactorings to reduce battery consumption of scientific mobile applications. Our results...
