Manually Characterize Android Benchmarks with DS-5

Registered by Zach Pfeffer

Why?
We need to characterize the Android benchmarks for hotspots.

Context?
This is part of the larger ARM benchmarking effort.

What gets produced?
A report detailing where each benchmark spends its time, a how-to on reproducing the report including a DS-5 set-up and installation guide and a set of scripts that can run the charaterizations on a local computer.

Where will the work get put?
The wiki for the how-to and the report and android.git.linaro.org for the scripts.

Notes:
[2012/9/4 pfefferz] Please put notes here.
[2012/9/17 vishalbhoj] We are currently documenting the characterization in Google doc . It will be published in wiki once it is reviewed. Here is the link to the document:
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/document/d/1YqCUeZe--VWe3dPM5wbIfLnAw7ZIECZEw7H3LxQPaLg/edit
[2012/9/24 pfefferz] Will close out by Wednesday.
[2012/9/28 vishalbhoj] All the benchmarks have been characterized. The data has been shared with ARM for review. Depending on the inputs we will refine the results. Automation of the streamline capture is being captured under this BP :

[2012/9/28 vishalbhoj] Currently perf seems to be broken in our builds hence we cannot use perf for profiling currently

Meta:
Headline: Android benchmarks have been characterized and the method to reproduce them has been documented.
Acceptance: A report detailing where each benchmark spends its time, a how-to on reproducing the report including a DS-5 set-up and installation guide and a set of scripts that can run the charaterizations on a local computer.
