CPU CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING APPLICATION PROCESSING SPEED AND POWER CONSUMPTION
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a CPU, the method performed by a CPU control apparatus, the method comprising:
- (a) measuring a reaction time of a user terminal for a running application;
(b) computing a first predictive reaction time by stepwise changing a CPU frequency if the reaction time exceeds a preset threshold;
(c) computing a second predictive reaction time by stepwise changing a processing weight of the application if the first predictive reaction time exceeds the preset threshold; and
(d) repeating said step (c) if the second predictive reaction time exceeds the preset threshold.
