Abstract

Smartphones popularity, usage and users dependency has been increased over the years. The popularity increase is linked with several factors such as smartphones size, ease in use, and several supported multipurpose apps. This all is enable due to the advanced integrated technologies in smartphones such as Wi-Fi, multi Sensors, GPS, high-speed CPU, a real world coloured display, Bluetooth, NFC etc. These capabilities attracts users and developers highly to build and join the smartphone community. Smartphones performance and functionalities are improving with time on both hardware and software side. However, power consumption is the key concern from all aspects. Rapid increase in number of apps and use is not inclined with smartphones batteries growth. Hence the demand for power saving applications increasing gradually to keep them intact. A great number of researches have been conducted to introduce the several power saving approaches. Memory data access for optimization carries a significant improvement in power consumption especially for data-intensive applications. Memory transformation, presents great optimization, such as from Array of Structure (AOS) to Structure of Array (SOA). This works well by reducing the memory access counts, which results as an overall memory access require power consumption. This research is the extended version of [20], where middleware power saving scheme was developed. This research introduces memory optimization through middleware transformation service, which converts the AOS to SOA and resulting will increase significant power saving for mobile application by reducing the memory access counts.it extended the battery life by minimizing its use.
