PROCESSOR FREQUENCY SCALING BASED UPON LOAD TRACKING OF DEPENDENT TASKS

摘要

A computing device comprising a user interface screen with a user interface associated with a plurality of user interface tasks. The computing device comprises a plurality of processing units operating at a processing unit frequency. The computing device further comprises an operating system comprising a dependent task identifier and a CPU frequency scaling governor. The dependent task identifier identifies one or more user interface tasks which are dependent on at least one other user interface task and provides to the CPU frequency scaling governor an aggregate frequency for the one or more user interface tasks. The CPU frequency scaling governor sets the plurality of processing units to the aggregate frequency.

1. A computing device comprising:
a plurality of processing units operating at a processing unit frequency; a dependent task identifier; and a CPU frequency scaling governor, wherein
the dependent task identifier identifies one or more user interface tasks of a plurality of user interface tasks and provides an aggregate frequency for the one or more user interface tasks to the CPU frequency scaling governor,the one or more user interface tasks dependent on at least one other user interface task of the plurality of user interface tasks, andthe CPU frequency scaling governor sets the plurality of processing units to the aggregate frequency based on an aggregate load.
