ABSTRACT
We present a study which describes the power consumption characteristics of a number of different interaction techniques on a desktop and laptop computer. In total, 8 interactions that can be used to carry out a single task (navigating a PDF document) were compared for power consumption across both a desktop and a laptop computer and across two different power saver settings. The results suggest that the power consumption of different interaction techniques for a single task vary significantly. Furthermore, the results suggest that a key factor in the power consumption of the interaction technique is the number of screen updates involved.

Power consumption evaluation of an MHD simulation with CPU power capping
CCGRID '14: Proceedings of the 14th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud, and Grid ComputingRecently to achieve the Exa-flops next generation computer system, the power consumption becomes the important issue. On the other hand, the power consumption character of application program is not so considered now. In this study we examine the power ...
Separation and extraction of short-circuit power consumption in digital CMOS VLSI circuits
ISLPED '98: Proceedings of the 1998 international symposium on Low power electronics and designIn this paper, we present a new technique which indirectly separates and extracts the total short-circuit power consumption of digital CMOS circuits. We avoid a direct encounter with the complex behavior of the short-circuit currents. Instead, we ...
