The Accuracy-Efficiency Paradox Quantifying Net Energy Loss in on-Device Energy Forecasting

The paper titled "The Accuracy-Efficiency Paradox Quantifying Net Energy Loss in on-Device Energy Forecasting" discusses how highly accurate energy forecasting models can paradoxically cause a net energy deficit on edge devices due to inference energy consumption and battery aging. It introduces a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) framework that unifies inference energy and battery degradation as forms of energy loss, aiming to minimize net energy loss. Experiments show that in thermally sensitive edge environments, the energy saved by more precise, complex models is often offset by the higher operational intensity they require.
