Android Platform Optimizations

Although compute platforms gain performance with every new generation, getting the most out of every cycle and milliwatt remains a key value driver for Consumer Electronics. This presentation will open up the Android platform and explain what platform components and frameworks can benefit from performance optimizations. The optimizations will be illustrated using real-life examples from the porting and optimization of the Android platform for the DesignWare ARC CPU. Both Android platform and application developers will gain insight in how to improve Android performance. Topics that will be addressed include the Pixelflinger, Linux kernel and drivers, Javascript engine, Bionic C library, and the Dalvik VM. We'll demonstrate the portability of Android and suitability of the ARC architecture for building efficiently Android systems.
