I am aware of a few tools that measure power consumption of programs, such as powerTOP, RAPL and the like. However, I was wondering if there exists some kind of benchmark such as Agner Fog's benchm...

I heard a rumor, that Java consumes less energy than PHP and was wondering if and how this would be true. I'm currently working in a company where we base most of our apps on PHP. Power consumption...

First of all, I do not know whether I should be asking this here or in the Electronics StackExchange, so please let me know if you think I should ask it there. I am interested in measuring the ener...

Is it possible to determine or even reasonably estimate how much power a program is using? The idea being to profile my code in terms of power consumption instead of just typical performance. Is i...

From my reading and experimentation I have found that Android devices use some method to prevent duplicate reading of a tag (as discussed here). This is great for power conservation however limits ...

I've read across several Image Processing books and websites, but I'm still not sure the true definition of the term "energy" in Image Processing. I've found several definition, but sometimes they ...

I noticed that perf list now has the option to measure power consumption. You can use it as follows: $ perf stat -e power/energy-cores/ ./a.out Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 8.55...

I'm checking the energy profiling of an app that loads a lot of content into web view. I'm greeted with the following gauge. I see that the energy impact is high, and there's a consistently high ov...

I have created an iOS app and it's first phase is almost complete. Basic flow of app is that a user can add his offer. Other users can avail this offer by booking it. The number of offers keeps on ...

We were working on our audio player project on mac and noticed that the power usage was so high (about 7x that of google chrome doing the same workload.) I used xcode's energy profiling tool, one ...

Is it possible to re-assign the Win+L hotkey to another executable/shortcut? Use-case - I would like to switch off the monitor of my laptop as soon as it is locked. I know of a executable which ca...

It's a general view that a faster code will consume less power because you can put CPU in idle state for more time but when we talk about energy consumption, is following a possibility: Suppose th...

I want to measure properties like energy consumption of my Android application. I know about tools like PowerTutor, but because I need a more accurate tool I want to use Qualcomm's trepn profiler....

Very simple question, probably difficult answer: Does using SSE instructions for example for parallel sum/min/max/average operations consume more power than doing any other instructions (e.g. a si...

I'm looking for a list of all the components and their power drainage on an up-to-date smart phone. Accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc. Display WiFi Bluetooth GPS CPU Camera Microphone e...

I have followed the Apple steps to get my app energy usage level from my device using Energy Diagnostics Instruments (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptua...

I tried to create a 128Bit with the iOS CoreBluetooth framework. The code that I have written is here: //16Bit Value-String static NSString * const ADVERTISING_SERVICE_16=@"FFC0"; //Var for 128...

I am making an application that requires user to send their GPS location to the server. I need it to be done for say every 10 seconds, which is heavy on the energy budget. Is there any open sourc...

the following are listed in CLLocation.h but from my experience they are deceiving names- possibly originally thought up to serve two purposes, 1. to test the accuracy of the location returned, but...

I have a (theoretical) network with N nodes, each with their own fixed location. Each node sends one message per cycle, which needs to reach the root either directly or via other nodes. The energ...
