Mobile computing has been one of the most disruptive technological advancements we have seen in this decade. As mobile devices are gaining ground rapidly, power-efficiency continues to be a critical factor of mobile design. Hardware OEMs and operating system vendors are all taking the necessary precautions to utilize power judicially. The availability of smart sensors on devices, like smartphones, tablets, and Ultrabook™ devices, enables application developers to create power-aware applications that contribute to increased battery life of a mobile device.
Power Efficiency
Using Battery Life Analyzer for Studying Application Power Consumption
In my blog about the most common pitfalls in analyzing application power consumption (most common pitfalls) I talked about potential issues that could drive power consumption to higher amounts. C-states are states when the CPU has reduced or turned off selected functions. Different processors support different numbers of C-states in which various parts of the CPU are turned off. To better understand the C-states that are supported and exposed, contact the CPU vendor.
