Abstract

As the usage of mobile computer devices like smartphones got popular over the last decade, mobile applications got more important and higher sophisticated. An example of resource demanding applications are numerical simulations. However the resources of mobile devices are not as powerful as on stationary computers due to the mobility aspect. Proceedings like code offloading provide solutions to bypass the limitations of mobile resources. In this bachelor thesis a system was developed to efficiently solve linear equation systems on mobile devices by utilizing a Cloud-Infrastructure. The system focuses on optimizing the resources energy, computation time and result quality according to the network situation. Evaluation tests recorded energy savings of 70% and a computation time reduction of 80% compared to conventional proceedings. Though those values depend on the network situation.
