Power conservation strategy for mobile computers using load sharing

Power conservation strategy for mobile computers using load sharing Power management is an important aspect of mobile computing. Previous works on power conservation have concentrated on the hardware approach. In this paper, we propose a different approach of power conservation strategy for mobile computers which is based on the concept of load sharing. User jobs are transferred from a mobile host to a fixed host to reduce power consumption by the CPU. Simulation results show that under suitable conditions, transferring job can extend battery lifetime by up to 20%. Transferring jobs to a fixed host does not only extend battery lifetime but also gives users access to faster machines, hence improving job response time. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review Association for Computing Machinery

Abstract

Power management is an important aspect of mobile computing. Previous works on power conservation have concentrated on the hardware approach. In this paper, we propose a different approach of power conservation strategy for mobile computers which is based on the concept of load sharing. User jobs are transferred from a mobile host to a fixed host to reduce power consumption by the CPU. Simulation results show that under suitable conditions, transferring job can extend battery lifetime by up to 20%. Transferring jobs to a fixed host does not only extend battery lifetime but also gives users access to faster machines, hence improving job response time.
