Method and apparatus for managing scheduling of services during boot-up

A method for managing scheduling of services during a boot-up process in an electronic device comprising a multi-core processor including at least one big core and at least one small core, comprising:

• determining, by the electronic device, a criticality of each of a plurality of services for the boot-up process, wherein the criticality indicates whether each of the plurality of services is critical or non-critical for the boot-up process;
• detecting an initiation of the boot-up process in the electronic device;
• identifying, by the electronic device, first services available in an accelerating cluster and second services available in a decelerating cluster based on the criticality of each of the plurality of services;
• scheduling, during the boot-up process, the first services based on at least one big core of the multi-core processor and the second services based on at least one small core of the multi-core processor;
• shifting a cluster center if at least two data points are greater than a threshold, the at least two data points out of a plurality of data points representing the plurality of services, wherein the cluster center is shifted based on a distance between the plurality of data points and the cluster center;
• clustering the plurality of data points into the accelerating cluster or the decelerating cluster based on the cluster center;
• and
• booting the electronic device by assigning the services to the at least one big core and the at least one small core based on the clustering,
• wherein a service of the plurality of services is determined as critical for the boot-up process based on that the service is enabled or disabled by a user input in a notification settings screen of the electronic device.

An electronic device for managing scheduling of services during a boot-up process in the electronic device comprising:

• a memory;
• a multi-core processor including at least one big core and at least one small core;
• and
• a scheduler operatively coupled to the memory and the multi-core processor, the scheduler being configured to:
• identify a plurality of services initiated during the boot-up process of the electronic device,
• register system parameters associated with the electronic device for each of the plurality of services,
• determine a criticality of each of the plurality of services for the boot-up process, wherein the criticality indicates whether each of the plurality of services is critical or non-critical for the boot-up process,
• tag label data to each of the plurality of services, wherein the label data represents whether each of the plurality of services is critical or non-critical, and
• cluster each of the plurality of services into an accelerating cluster or a decelerating cluster based on the registered system parameters associated with the electronic device for each of the plurality of services and the tagged label data to each of the plurality of services,
• boot the electronic device by assigning the services to the at least one big core and the at least one small core based on the clustering,
• wherein a service of the plurality of services is determined as critical for the boot-up process based on that the service is enabled or disabled by a user input in a notification settings screen of the electronic device.
