Energy-Efficient Software Development for Mobile Devices – A Surv

Hyeon-Ju Yoon

Energy efficiency problem is a crucial aspect in smartphone programming. Hardware manufacturers and OS designers make great effort to provide energy efficient mobile devices, but the applications are often problematic or buggy for energy consumption. In this paper, we investigated the guidelines and tools which application developers can utilize when they want to make their application energy-efficient. Google and Apple, the providers of Android and iOS each, offer some coding guidelines and Apple also provides an energy diagnostic tool. From the research literature, we introduce on-device energy profilers that estimate energy consumption for each application and hardware component, and take a look at rather new approach that analyzes program instead of collecting runtime logging data.
