  • ART Vs. NDK Vs. GPU Acceleration: a Study of Performance of Image Processing Algorithms on Android
    DEGREE PROJECT IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2017 ART vs. NDK vs. GPU acceleration: A study of performance of image processing algorithms on Android ANDREAS PÅLSSON KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND COMMUNICATION ART vs. NDK vs. GPU acceleration: A study of performance of image processing algorithms on Android ANDREAS PÅLSSON Master in Computer Science Date: June 26, 2017 Supervisor: Cyrille Artho Examiner: Johan Håstad Swedish title: ART, NDK eller GPU acceleration: En prestandastudie av bildbehandlingsalgoritmer på Android School of Computer Science and Communication iii Abstract The Android ecosystem contains three major platforms for execution suit- able for different purposes. Android applications are normally written in the Java programming language, but computationally intensive parts of An- droid applications can be sped up by choosing to use a native language or by utilising the parallel architecture found in graphics processing units (GPUs). The experiments conducted in this thesis measure the performance benefits by switching from Java to C++ or RenderScript, Google’s GPU acceleration framework. The experiments consist of often-done tasks in image processing. For some of these tasks, optimized libraries and implementations already exist. The performance of the implementations provided by third parties are compared to our own. Our results show that for advanced image processing on large images, the benefits are large enough to warrant C++ or RenderScript usage instead of Java in modern smartphones. However, if the image processing is conducted on very small images (e.g. thumbnails) or the image processing task contains few calculations, moving to a native language or RenderScript is not worth the added development time and static complexity.

  • Comparative Analysis of Several Real-Time Systems for Tracking People And/Or Moving Objects Using GPS
    ICT Innovations 2015 Web Proceedings ISSN 1857-7288 Comparative Analysis of Several Real-Time Systems for Tracking People and/or Moving Objects using GPS Gligorcho Radinski and Aleksandra Mileva University “Goce Delčev”, Faculty of Computer Science “Krste Misirkov” bb, Štip, Republic of Macedonia {gligorco.21044,aleksandra.mileva}@ugd.edu.mk Abstract. When we talk about real-time systems for tracking people and/or mov- ing objects using a Global Positioning System (GPS), there are several categories of such systems and the ways in which they work. Some uses additional hardware to extend the functionality of the offered opportunities, some are free, some are too complex and cost too much money. This paper aims to provide a clearer pic- ture of several such systems and to show results from a comparative analysis of some popular systems for tracking people and moving objects that use the GPS, like Navixy, Frotcom GPS Vehicle Tracking & Fleet Management System, Fol- lowMee GPS Tracker, Open GPS Tracking System and our system RadinTech- nology GPS Tracking System. Keywords: Navixy, Frotcom, FollowMee GPS Tracker, Open GPS Tracking System, Radian Technology 1 Introduction Recent years, we are witnesses of popularization and versatile applications of GPS tech- nologies. Applications range from military, national security and justice system till per- sonal safety and comfort. For example, the criminal justice system in many countries uses GPS based mobile tracking devices in the form of an ankle bracelet, that specific types of offenders are sometimes required to wear [1]; many fleet operators can monitor the driving behavior of employees, parents can monitor their teen drivers [2, 3, 4, 5];there are special systems for tracking people and their body parts [7], for tracking moving objects in surveillance system [8], even stalking [6], etc.

  • Studi Kasus Expo Sinode
    1. Pendahuluan Sinode GKJ Indonesia memiliki suatu kegiatan yang diadakan secara berkala dalam bentuk pameran yang disebut Expo Sinode GKJ. Kegiatan tersebut merupakan suatu wahana untuk memperkenalkan karya dan potensi GKJ sehingga bisa diketahui oleh banyak pihak sehingga diharapkan bisa menghasilkan kerjasama pengembangan karya dan potensi yang ada. Kegiatan tersebut terdiri dari berbagai macam acara diantaranya ibadah syukur yang diikuti oleh jemaat (massal), pameran (Expo) yang menampilkan karya dan potensi Gereja, Klasis dan lembaga serta pagelaran festival seni [1]. Selama ini informasi seputar kegiatan tersebut dipublikasikan melalui menerbitkan berita-berita untuk konsumsi internal, membuat blog khusus, publikasi kegiatan-kegiatan yang perlu diketahui oleh masyarakat luas melalui Sosial Media (Facebook, Website, Majalah, Brosur, Leaflet, Baliho), serta sosialisasi ke Klasis dan Gereja-gereja. Beberapa sarana yang digunakan untuk mempublikasikan kegiatan tersebut membutuhkan biaya yang tidak sedikit serta dirasa belum memberikan dampak yang cukup signifikan untuk menggaet perhatian masyarakat lebih luas. Selain itu produk yang dipasarkan hanya dapat diketahui masyarakat dengan datang langsung pada kegiatan tersebut atau melalui publikasi di media cetak atau internet yang dilakukan oleh anggota kegiatan tersebut secara mandiri. Proses transaksi bisnis yang terjadi pada proses jual beli dalam kegiatan tersebut dilakukan secara manual yaitu dengan cara pembeli menghubungi pihak yang bersangkutan terlebih dahulu kemudian melakukan

  • Embedded Android
    www.it-ebooks.info www.it-ebooks.info Praise for Embedded Android “This is the definitive book for anyone wanting to create a system based on Android. If you don’t work for Google and you are working with the low-level Android interfaces, you need this book.” —Greg Kroah-Hartman, Core Linux Kernel Developer “If you or your team works on creating custom Android images, devices, or ROM mods, you want this book! Other than the source code itself, this is the only place where you’ll find an explanation of how Android works, how the Android build system works, and an overall view of how Android is put together. I especially like the chapters on the build system and frameworks (4, 6, and 7), where there are many nuggets of information from the AOSP source that are hard to reverse-engineer. This book will save you and your team a lot of time. I wish we had it back when our teams were starting on the Frozen Yogurt version of Android two years ago. This book is likely to become required reading for new team members working on Intel Android stacks for the Intel reference phones.” —Mark Gross, Android/Linux Kernel Architect, Platform System Integration/Mobile Communications Group/Intel Corporation “Karim methodically knocks out the many mysteries Android poses to embedded system developers. This book is a practical treatment of working with the open source software project on all classes of devices, beyond just consumer phones and tablets. I’m personally pleased to see so many examples provided on affordable hardware, namely BeagleBone, not just on emulators.” —Jason Kridner, Sitara Software Architecture Manager at Texas Instruments and cofounder of BeagleBoard.org “This book contains information that previously took hundreds of hours for my engineers to discover.
