hi...i am priyanka i would like to get detail on advantages and disadvantages of greendroid...and i last studied in the college ...now am doing....i need help on..
Mobile application processors will soon replace desktop processors as the focus of innovation in microprocessor technology. Already, these processors have largely caught their most energetically hungry cousins, supporting out-of-order execution and multi-core processing. In the near future, the exponentially worsening problem of dark silicon is going to be the main force dictating the evolution of these designs. In recent work, we have argued that the natural evolution of mobile application processors is to use this dark silicon to create hundreds of automatically generated energy-saving cores, called conservation cores, that can reduce power consumption by an order of magnitude .
The mobile application processor Greendroid is a 45nm multi-core research prototype that targets the Android mobile phone software stack and can run general purpose mobile programs with 11 times less power than the most energy-efficient designs with Similar or better performance levels. It does so by using a hundred automatically generated, highly specialized, energy reduction cores, called conservation cores.
