Energy Management in Mobile Devices with the Cinder Operating System

Abstract

We present Cinder, an operating system for mobile phones and devices, that allows users and applications to control and manage limited device resources such as energy. We argue that controlling energy allocation is an important and increasingly useful feature for operating systems, especially on mobile devices. We present two new low-level abstractions in the Cinder operating system, taps and reserves, which store and distribute energy for application use. We identify three key properties of control isolation, delegation, and subdivision and show how using these abstractions can achieve them. We also show how the architecture of the HiStar information flow control kernel lends itself well to control energy. We prototype and evaluate Cinder on a popular smart phone, the Android G1.
