Existing multi-screening technologies have been limited to mirroring the current screen of the smartphone onto all the connected external display devices. In contrast, NANS (N-App N-Screen) technology is able to display different applications (N-App) on different multiple display devices (N-Screen) using only a smartphone. For such NANS services, this paper empirically shows that the thermal violation constraint is more critical than the battery life constraint. For preventing the thermal violation, the existing DTM (Dynamic Thermal Management) techniques cannot be used since they consider thermal violations as abnormal, and hence prevent them by severely throttling CPU frequencies resulting in serious QoS degradation. In NANS service scenarios it is normal to operate in high temperature ranges to continue services with acceptable QoS. Targeting such scenarios, we first propose a novel thermal prediction method specially designed for NANS services. Based on the novel thermal prediction method, we then propose a novel DTM technique called, “thermal planning” to provide sustainable NANS services with sufficiently high QoS without thermal violations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
