Observation of Power Consumption of Each Application in an Accelerated Android OS

Analyze of smartphone application behavior is one of the important tasks in the consumer electronics field. A dynamic analysis involving an actual execution provides very practical results but requires a very long time. We then previously proposed an accelerated Android operating system that provided an accelerated time flow to the process in the system, in order to reduce this time. In this paper, we evaluate the accuracy of accelerated observation of the power consumption ranking of applications. We show the rankings with and without acceleration. We then show that a similar ranking can be obtained with small acceleration and that the method provides almost accurate, but not completely accurate, application power consumption ranking in a shorter time. In addition, we discuss its side effects, namely the power consumption of display increases by this acceleration.
