Wake lock aware system wide job scheduling for energy efficiency on mobile devices

A wake lock aware system configured to implement wake lock aware scheduling on a computing device, comprising:

• a processor configured with executable instructions to implement a wake lock profiler, wherein the wake lock profiler is configured to:
• receive a wake lock request;
• acquire wake lock information of a wake lock event associated with the wake lock request, wherein the wake lock information includes a wake lock time parameter;
• and
• send a hint including the wake lock time parameter;
• and
• the processor is further configured with executable instructions to implement a scheduler, wherein the scheduler is configured to:
• receive the hint;
• determine whether a first ready job can execute during the wake lock event;
• and
• send a request for permission to schedule the first ready job for execution during the wake lock event in response to determining that the first ready job can execute during the wake lock event.

A wake lock aware system configured to implement wake lock aware scheduling on a computing device, comprising:

• means for receiving a wake lock request;
• means for acquiring wake lock information of a wake lock event associated with the wake lock request, wherein the wake lock information includes a wake lock time parameter;
• means for sending a hint including the wake lock time parameter;
• means for receiving the hint;
• means for determining whether a first ready job can execute during the wake lock event;
• and
• means for sending a request for permission to schedule the first ready job for execution during the wake lock event in response to determining that the first ready job can execute during the wake lock event.

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a processor of a computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a wake lock request;
• acquiring wake lock information of a wake lock event associated with the wake lock request, wherein the wake lock information includes a wake lock time parameter;
• sending a hint including the wake lock time parameter;
• receiving the hint;
• determining whether a first ready job can execute during the wake lock event;
• and
• sending a request for permission to schedule the first ready job for execution during the wake lock event in response to determining that the first ready job can execute during the wake lock event.

A wake lock aware system configured to implement wake lock aware scheduling on a computing device, comprising:

• a wake lock profiler hardware component configured to:
• receive a wake lock request;
• acquire wake lock information of a wake lock event associated with the wake lock request, wherein the wake lock information includes a wake lock time parameter;
• and
• send a hint including the wake lock time parameter;
• and
• a scheduler hardware component communicatively connected to the wake lock profiler hardware component and configured to:
• receive the hint;
• determine whether a first ready job can execute during the wake lock event;
• and
• send a request for permission to schedule the first ready job for execution during the wake lock event in response to determining that the first ready job can execute during the wake lock event.
