A group of U.S. researchers has developed Enerji, a method that could reduce consumption by 90% of the CPUHow many times have you felt a sense of discomfort or nervousness because you had the phone with the battery ground and maybe you had to reload the night before? At least once, to be positive, it will happen at all.
From the United States is coming, however, seems an application can eliminate this problem. The hero is called Enerji (named after the Java language), an approach based on software, which provides for the rounding up of some numbers, or the elimination of certain control procedures, solutions that reduce the workload on the CPU and that the researchers can already lead to a reduction in fuel consumption between 30 and 50%.
To achieve it have been researchers at the University of Washington. In the simulations the system is able to reduce consumption by 50% (in one case), but the goal is to reach 90%, with further development to reach goals, even from the hardware side.
"The basic idea is to take advantage of processes that can survive in small errors when, for example, reduces or controls the voltage is reduced. Examples are streaming audio and video, games and recognition of images in time real applications of augmented reality on mobile devices, "the researchers explain.
The system provides two different ways to code applications: one for processes that require the greatest precision, such as password management and encryption, and one for all those - the majority - more tolerant to errors.
The two environments, the researchers said, are rigidly separated to prevent unwanted movements there are data, a key element in maintaining security.
Anticipated developments of the project.
