Description: The increased usage of mobile devices caused them to face a large amount of resource, memory and processing speed scarcity.  Of all other constraints, energy is the major problem for this to carry out a task. The concept of offloading gets into play for mobile devices i.e., the task or the computation which needs to be performed involving more service in the android systems will be shifted to resourceful server (for ex cloud) and getting back the results done from the cloud. The decision of whether to offload a computation or not will depend on the task accounting to the energy spent by the device while working with the application versus the amount of energy spent by the same device for uploading the task to the cloud and getting the result back from the cloud. As this concept depicts energy is the major constraint for whether to offload a task or not, there is a model called CUCKOO framework which acts as an interface between the cloud and the android environment to support for the task offloading to the cloud. Thus this framework bridges the gap between the smartphones as well as the cloud environment so that computation intensive task can be performed with less amount of energy consumed. In this work two applications are used to detect the amount of energy consumed in the cloud as well as the smartphones namely eyedentify and Photoshoot.
