Can I measure the power performance of GPU based on Samsung Chromebook2?

Dear All,

I want to say really thanks for everyone. Because when I have a question, always this forum give me a precious answer

Cut to the chase, I am wondering whether I can measure the power performance of Mali GPU based on Samsung Chromebook 2.

Or any technical document about power performance when I use just one Mali GPU compute unit.

Thanks a lot, in advance

Yours sincerely,

Woojung Myung

  • Hi nightskyz,

    Unfortunately there is no way to get these power numbers without an instrumented device which the retail Chromebook 2 isn't.

    The power consumption of the core depends on a huge number of variables, the SoC and its process, kernel configuration, workload, environmental factors, the nature of the work being done and as such we can't provide any estimates, even for where things like frequency are known.  You can of course calculate the power consumption if Vdd and I are known for the core, but there is no way for you to obtain this information from the device without making hardware modifications.

    My only suggestion is, unfortunately, to get yourself an Odroid X-U3 which is already instrumented and will allow you to take power measurements yourself.

    I'm sorry I can't be of more help in this case,
