Modern multi-core mobile devices are the main application objects of mobile cloud computing (MCC). In previous works, researchers have formulated various heuristic algorithms to solve the NP problem. This work combines MCC with multithreaded computing (MTC) of multi-core mobile devices to avoid NP problems and proposes an MTC-based MCC offloading strategy. First, the authors design an MTC strategy for the application model of cloud computing. Then, they use the data transmission scheme that is

Finally, based on the MTC strategy and the optimal data transmission scheme, they obtain the MTC-based MCC offloading strategy through a linear time searching algorithm. Simulation results show that compared with the local MTC strategy and the single-threaded MCC offloading strategy, the MTC-based MCC offloading strategy can significantly reduce energy consumption and improve the computing ability in multi-threaded applications.
