Samsung patents system load monitoring based on task priority
Samsung describes a method for electronic devices to monitor system performance by first checking the priority of running tasks. The processor decides whether to track metrics like CPU usage or input/output wait times only when necessary, then outputs the monitoring data. This approach aims to manage system resources by focusing attention on high-priority activities.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device for monitoring system load, example embodiments may include: a memory for storing at least one instruction; and at least one processor for executing the at least one instruction. The at least one processor may: determine the priority of at least one task; determine whether to monitor system load on the basis of the priority of the at least one task; and output monitoring data. The system load can include at least one from among CPU contention, IO wait, wake-up delay and system resource usage.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic device for monitoring system load, comprising: memory storing at least one instruction; and at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, configured for executing the at least one instruction, wherein the at least one processor is individually and/or collectively configured to: determine a priority of at least one task, determine whether to monitor system load based on the priority of the at least one task, and control to output monitoring data, and wherein the system load includes at least one of CPU contention, IO wait, wake-up delay, or usage of system resource.
