Introduction

The part of Frame Aware Sched belongs to subsystem named Resource Schedule Subsystem.

In order to ensure the cpu scheduling supply, it updates the process scheduling groups and adjust the kernel schedule parameters to influence the kernel scheduling behavior according to the information of the application frame drawing and the application life cycle status.

Framework

According to the thread it belongs to during execution, the Farme Aware Sched is devided into two parts, which are Frame Aware Collector and Frame Aware Policy. The framework is shown in the following picture.

• Frame Aware Collector: which is the core strategy of drawing frames, including frame event processing module, slide scene strategy module, and model processing module.

  Module-frame event processing : responsible for coordinating and dispatching the message information of the frame drawing sub-process of the JS-UI subsystem and the Graphic subsystem.

  Module-slide scene strategy: responsible for the sliding scene recognize and provide the scenario-based fine scheduling by the interface of the model processing module.

  Module-model processing module: responsible for providing the adjustment and scheduling algorithm of each sub-process.

• Frame Aware Policy: which is consists of four part: event processing module, application management module, and RTG (Related-Thread-Group) management module and scheduling parameter control module.

  Module-Application state event processing: which is responsible for registering and receiving messages from the global resource management and control subsystem, such as application state switch, window focus state change, etc, and distributing messages to the application management and control module and RTG grouping module.

  Module-Application management: responsible for the unified management of the application messages of the event processing module.

  Module-RTG Managerment: the kernel interface set, sets the RTG accoding to the application state to realize thread scheduling management.

  Module-Scheduling Parameter Control:responsible for reading the default scheduling prameter configuration.

The component of Frame Information Collection

The frame information collection is mainly responsible for adjusting the parameters of kernel scheduling and scaling the thread load. When the user slides on the application, it recognizes the key threads (such as draw frame thread and render thread) , perceives the sub-process of the application frame drawing, and adjust the kernel scheduling parameters according to the task timeout status to perform real-time resources.

• According to the screen refresh rate, it analyze the current frame rate information. The resource supply of key threads is increased according to the time to end of the drawing frame.
• Adjust resource supply according to the duration of each sub-process during graphics rendering process.
• Adjust resource supply for frame sub-process task with high frame loss rate.

The component of Frame Aware Policy

As the basis for the realization of application frame perception, the frame aware policy is mainly reposible for controlling thread groups and thread priorities, realizing the unified management of application threads and ensuring the performance of the entire system.
