Abstract
A method for profiling energy usage in graphics user interfaces (UI) in handheld mobile devices is disclosed, which includes quantifying the central processing unit (CPU) energy drain of each UI update, quantifying the graphics processing unit (GPU) energy drain of each UI update, quantifying the number of pixels changed due to each UI update, identifying an UI update that consumes energy drain but results in no pixel changes to the displayed frame as a graphics energy bug.
