  • Abstract
    This article discusses about Greendroid mobile Application Processor. Dark silicon has emerged as the fundamental limiter in modern processor design. The Greendroid mobile application processor demonstrates an approach that uses dark silicon to execute general-purpose smart phone applications with less energy than today´s most energy efficient designs.
