Performance Validation on Multicore Mobile Devices

The validation of modern software systems on mobile devices needs to incorporate both functional and non-functional requirements. While some progress has been made in validating performance (including power consumption) on current mobile devices, future mobile devices will incorporate multiple processing units, more complex software and hardware that will raise additional challenges. This paper outlines ideas for future directions in performance validation on multicore devices, based on the current work in model-based validation, application state monitoring and performance assertions. 1 Motivation Today personal communication devices are more than voice call terminals. Mobile phones serve as platforms for a variety of mobile applications including text and picture messaging as well as personal information management, including data synchronization with remote servers and desktop computers. Many mobile phones today are equipped with imaging devices and are capable of taking still image...
