Abstract :
In this paper we investigate the energy efficiency of processors based on ARM Cortex-A9 cores for scientific numerical applications. We study the performance for a few numerical kernels which appear in a larger set of scientific applications. From power measurements that were performed on different platforms we estimate the energy consumed when executing these kernels.
