Abstract

Rapidly increasing capacities, decreasing costs, and improvements in computational power, storage, and communication technologies have led to the development of many applications that carry increasingly large amounts of traffic on the global networking infrastructure. lead to emerging technologies and play a vital role in rapid evolution. have become a primary 24/7 need in today’s information technology world and include a wide range of supporting processing-intensive applications. Extensive use of many applications on results in increasing complexity of mobile software applications and consumption of resources at a massive level, including smart device battery power, processor, and RAM, and hinders their normal operation. Appropriate resource utilization and energy efficiency are fundamental considerations for because limited resources are sporadic and make it more difficult for users to complete their tasks. In this study we propose the model of mobile energy augmentation using (MEACC), a new framework to address the challenges of massive and inefficient resource utilization in . MEACC efficiently filters the applications to be executed on a smart device or offloaded to the cloud. Moreover, MEACC efficiently calculates the total execution cost on both the mobile and cloud sides including communication costs for any application to be offloaded. In addition, resources are monitored before making the decision to offload the application. MEACC is a promising model for load balancing and reduction in emerging environments.
