Abstract
Due to the advance of hardware, various devices have mobility features, and many applications need the data transmission. In addition, it is essential for latest smartphones to utilize multi-cores and multi-threads because of the enhancement of Application Processor. Therefore, this paper analyzes the performance/power consumption according to transmission rate, the number of cores, and that of threads in the system that is supposed to conduct data transmission and processing simultaneously. Through the analysis, this paper provides a direction for the proper number of threads in terms of performance improvement and efficient power consumption.
