安卓系统为浏览器分配资源时无法感知网页内容,会导致资源过度分配和电量不必要损失.同时,由于CPU可调节频率密度的增长,通过动态电压频率缩放(dynamic voltage and frequency scaling,DVFS)技术实现能耗优化的难度也随之增大.另外在系统默认的调控策略下,忽视了图形处理器(graphics processing unit,GPU)对浏览器运行的作用.针对上述问题,提出一种协同调控CPU和GPU实现功耗优化的方法.首先根据网页加载时处理器运行特征利用逻辑回归对网页进行分类,对网页特征加权实现复杂度量化,根据类别与复杂度采用DVFS技术限制CPU频率的同时调节GPU频率.该方法被应用于谷歌Pixel2 XL上的Chromium浏览器,对排名前500的中文网站进行测试,平均节省了 12％功耗的同时减少了 5％网页加载时间.
Browser Power Optimization Based on CPU-GPU Co-regulation and Web Page Feature Perception
Android's inability to sense web page content during resources allocation to the browser often results in over-allocation of resources and unnecessary loss of power.At the same time,due to the growth of CPU adjustable frequency density,optimizing energy consumption through dynamic voltage and frequency scaling(DVFS)technology becomes increasingly challenging.Furthermore,the role of the graphics processing unit(GPU)in browser operation is ignored under the system's default regulation policy.Aiming at the above problems,we propose a method to optimize power consumption by co-regulating CPU and GPU.First,web pages are classified by logistic regression based on the processor operating characteristics when loading web pages.We assign weights to webpage charac-teristics to quantify the complexity,and then use DVFS to limit the CPU frequency while adjusting the GPU frequency based on webpage category and complexity.The proposed method is applied to the Chromium browser on Google Pixel2 XL,and tested on the top 500 Chinese websites,resulting in a 12％reduction in power consumption and an average 5％decrease in webpage loading time.
