On Application of Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation for Dynamic Voltage-Frequency Scaling in Android OS

Abstract

Simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation was previously shown to provide good results for optimizing resource consumption under dynamically changing workload. We employ this approach to develop dynamic voltage-frequency scaling (DVFS) governor for Android OS. We design experimental methodology and show our algorithm performance compared to common Android DVFS governors. A link to the source code is also provided.
