The AM-Bench: An Android Multimedia Benchmark Suite

Despite the significant evolution of mobile devices and the increased use of mobile devices, not many mobile benchmarks have been studied. Even though mobile applications share similar characteristics with traditional desktop oriented applications, different programming environments and user usage patterns present different characteristics. In this paper, we introduce an open source based mobile multimedia benchmark for Android platforms (AM-Bench). The AM-Bench consists of several multimedia benchmarks running on Android platforms. We explain the characteristics of the AM-Bench and compare performance on four Android-based platforms.
