A Novel Easy-to-construct Power Model for Embedded and Mobile Systems

This paper features a novel modeling scheme for power consumption in embedded and mobile devices. The model hereafter presented is built thought data fitting techniques using a NARX nonlinear neural net. It showcases the advantages of using a nonlinear model to estimate power consumption over the widely used linear regression models, where The NARX neural net is simpler, easier to implement, and more importantly more suitable as power changes are not always linear. Finally, experimental results validate the model with one with an accuracy of 97.1% on a smartphone.
