'Dark silicon' to improve smartphone battery life
A new smartphone chip prototype under development at the University of California, San Diego will improve smartphone efficiency by making use of ?dark silicon? ? the underused transistors in modern microprocessors. On August 23, UC San Diego computer scientists presented GreenDroid, the new smartphone chip prototype at the HotChips symposium in Palo Alto, CA.Dark silicon refers to the huge swaths of silicon transistors on today?s chips that are underused because there is not enough power to utilize all the transistors at the same time. The new GreenDroid chip prototype from computer scientists at UC San Diego will deliver improved performance through specialized processors fashioned from dark silicon. These processors are designed to run heavily used chunks of code, called ?hot code,? in Google?s Android smartphone platform. Computer science professors Michael Taylor and Steven Swanson from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering are leading th
