Poster Abstract: KLEP: A Kernel Level Energy Profiling Tool for Android

We propose a kernel-level energy profiling tool KLEP that can work with diverse APIs of Android. KLEP addresses the challenges of the tail energy problem and the complex interrelation between hardware components in the device energy consumption profile. KLEP collects energy-sensitive events in the kernel and measures real energy consumption of the device at the same time, and employs a LSTM neural-network-based model for energy profiling. The preliminary results show that the curves profiled by KLEP can match the actual energy consumption with low error and overhead.
