In this work, we first present an application-initiatedstrategy that aims to control the energy consumption,while simultaneously enhancing the performance of aheterogeneous embedded system. We assess the benefitsof using this strategy by means of a traditional evaluationframework. Even though the overall benefits and improvementsare apparent, the performance-energy trade-offsare not prominently noticeable when the traditionalframework is used during evaluation. Hence, we proposea framework based on a new metric called energy-resourceefficiency (ERE). ERE defines a link between theperformance and energy variations in a system. This metricalso serves as a guide to determine the amount of resourcesneeded to attain the desired performance andenergy behavior. Our experimental results clearly indicatethat a heterogeneous system running an application-awarestrategy, when correctly calibrated using ERE,leads to great performance and energy gains.
