ABSTRACT
Mobile video streaming contributes a fast growing portion of mobile data traffic. This paper compares the cost and energy efficiency of streamed video with prefetching video using real usage data from a mobile video application that employs algorithmic prefetching. Empirical energy measurements are used to evaluate the power consumed when prefetching over Wi-Fi and streaming of content over cellular networks. The energy model and price data for communications costs are then used together with the usage data to evaluate the cost efficiency of prefetching. The results strongly indicate that algorithmic prefetching can provide sufficient performance improvements to significantly reduce both battery use and the costs of video delivery from user and operator points of view.

Focused prefetching: performance oriented prefetching based on commit stalls
ICS '08: Proceedings of the 22nd annual international conference on SupercomputingLoads that miss in L1 or L2 caches and waiting for their data at the head of the ROB cause significant slow down in the form of commit stalls. We identify that most of these commit stalls are caused by a small set of loads, referred to as LIMCOS (Loads ...
Adaptive Runtime-Assisted Block Prefetching on Chip-Multiprocessors
Memory stalls are a significant source of performance degradation in modern processors. Data prefetching is a widely adopted and well studied technique used to alleviate this problem. Prefetching can be performed by the hardware, or be initiated and ...
Overcoming Limitations Of Prefetching In Multiprocessors By Compiler-Initiated Coherence Action
PACT '97: Proceedings of the 1997 International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation TechniquesIn this paper we first identify limitations of compiler-controlled prefetching in a CC-NUMA multiprocessor with a write-invalidate cache coherence protocol. Compiler-controlled prefetch techniques for CC-NUMAs often are focused only, on stride-accesses, ...
