Host platform and compiler configuration:

fedora 27, android-ndk-r15c, target arch = arm64-v8a

we manually update openblas package to version 0.2.20 in caffe-android-lib for better performance

Device: Nexus 6p

OS: LineageOS 15.1(Android 8.1.0), ROM newly flashed without any third-party APP installed

CPU: Snapdragon 810 (Cortex-A57 2.0GHz x 4 + Cortex-A53 1.55GHz x 4)

RAM: 3G

Benchmark method:

Run squeezenet, mobilenet inference 23 times in a loop, discard the first three warmup records, and then calculate the average inference time

Run vgg169 times in a loop, discard the first warmup record, and then calculate the average inference time

Since the system may force SOC lowering its frequency when temperature goes high, sleep over 1 minute before each benchmark to prevent this issue.

fps performance: fps = 1000 / avgtime(ms)

cpu usage: take the CPU value in top utility output

memory usage: take the RES value in top utility output

the overall power consumption and performance per watt:

Disable usb charging: adb shell echo 0 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled

current(μA) = adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now (multiply -1 for 810 chip)

voltage(μV) = adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/voltage_now

power consumption(mW) = current / 1000 * voltage / 1000 / 1000

performance per watt(1000fps/W) = fps / power consumption * 1000
