The CARECloud Project at the MOBILESoft 2025 Conference: Reducing the Environmental Impact of the Cloud
The MOBILESoft 2025 conference, to be held in Ottawa in April, will bring together international experts to discuss the energy efficiency of mobile devices. Among the participants will be members of the CARECloud project, who will present their work on estimating the energy consumption of mobile devices.
Energy efficiency is critical for mobile devices, where software inefficiencies can quickly drain battery life and reduce device longevity. The CARECloud project, in collaboration with Greenspector, has presented a new methodology for estimating the energy consumption of the different hardware components in mobile devices. Unlike existing approaches, this methodology considers the energy consumption of each component as an inverse problem, where the contribution of each component to the total energy consumption of the terminal is derived from linear statistical models between system measurements and this total consumption.
The results show that the linear models achieve high prediction accuracy, with R-squared values greater than 0.90 for total power consumption. Robust correlations between predicted and actual power consumption are observed for key components such as CPU and GPU. In addition, the number of measurements required to build such a model is in the order of hundreds rather than thousands. Find out more: https://hal.science/hal-04928609v1
