Performance comparison of multi-core smartphones

Smartphones are an important communication tool, having tendency to emerge as the mobile computer, that is, presenting all functions needed on the way of an individual. Subsequently, multi-core smartphones have been manufactured, therefore applying parallel processing on these devices have become possible. Using parallel processing in smartphones has many advantages, such as reducing processing time, power optimization, use the full power of the smartphone and giving us the ability to write more efficient applications. In this thesis, the way to write parallel applications will be investigated on multicore smartphone, and analyzed the dependency for the applications with the purpose of determining the parts of the code within the application that will be implemented in parallel. The Bernstein's conditions will be applied which describe when two program fragments can be executed in parallel. The way determining the most favorable quantity of threads will be indicated to be used in parallel application. The success in gain of performance will be attained by parallel processing of application on more than one processor, or what is called Speedup. Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) will be used as a programming language to develop mobile phone applications and Android Studio as a developing environment.
