Abstract

Earliest virtual deadline zero laxity (EVDZL) algorithm is proposed for mobile GPU schedulers for its improved responsiveness. Responsiveness of user interface (UI) is one of the key factors in evaluating smart devices because of its significant impacts on user experiences. However, conventional GPU schedulers based on completely fair scheduling (CFS) shows a poor responsiveness due to its algorithmic complexity. In this letter, we present the EVDZL scheduler based on the conventional earliest deadline zero laxity (EDZL) algorithm by accommodating the virtual laxity concept into the scheduling. Experimental results show that the EVDZL scheduler improves the response time of the Android UI by 9.6% compared with the traditional CFS scheduler.
