Description

Processor low-power consumption blocking type time delay method, device and readable medium

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a low-power-consumption blocking type time delay method and device of a processor and a readable medium.

Background

In the operating process of an operating system, many scenes need to be delayed, for example, when a clock is initialized in the system starting stage, the phase-locked loop needs to be delayed for stabilization, and when a display screen is initialized, a hardware signal needs to be delayed for stabilization. There are generally two implementations of latency: blocking delay and non-blocking delay. Blocking latency is when the processor waits in place without switching to other tasks. Many scenarios are not capable of task switching, such as a critical section that can be accessed by only one task during interrupt processing, an early stage of start-up in which a task scheduling function is not ready, and the like. The non-blocking type delay finger processor leaves the original task and is switched to other tasks to execute, if no other tasks exist, the idle task is executed, and the low power consumption state is entered; and when the time delay expires, switching back to the original task, and continuously executing the program after the time delay. Since the processor can run other tasks or enter a low power state during the delay, processor resources can be fully utilized or system power consumption can be reduced.

Generally, in the system operation, most scenarios use non-blocking delay, and only when the non-blocking scenario cannot be used, the blocking delay is used. The conventional method is shown in fig. 1, and the flow of the blocking type delay method includes: firstly, acquiring starting time and storing variables of the starting time; then adding the delay length to the start time to obtain the delayed overtime time; then, circularly judging whether the time delay is finished or not, namely continuously acquiring the current time of the current system, comparing the current time with the overtime, and finishing when the time delay exceeds the overtime.

In the traditional method, during the blocking type delay period, the processor is always operated at full speed, but the loop is only used for judging whether the delay is finished or not, and other things are not processed. Thus resulting in wasted processor resources and higher processor power consumption.

The processor low-power consumption blocking type delay method, wherein the step of determining the residual delay of the first delay state according to the current time, the delay length and the overtime time point comprises the following steps: subtracting the starting time from the timeout time point to obtain the residual delay time; and if the residual time delay is often larger than a set threshold, executing the next step, wherein the set threshold can be adjusted in a self-defined manner.

The processor low-power consumption blocking type time delay method further comprises the following steps: if the residual delay is often smaller than the set threshold value, the processor is kept in a second delay state, and when the processor is in the second delay state, the current time and the timeout time point are monitored in a circulating mode until the current time is larger than or equal to the timeout time point, and then the processor exits from the second delay state.

Fig. 2 shows a flow diagram according to an embodiment of the invention. The process of this embodiment includes the following steps:

s100, acquiring a first delay state of a processor, and determining the initial delay time, the delay length and the overtime time point of the first delay state; s200, determining the residual delay time of the first delay state frequently according to the current time, the delay length and the overtime time point; s300, starting a timer, keeping the processor in a first running state within the residual time delay time constant through the timer, and returning the processor to a second running state after the residual time delay time constant is ended. The first operation state and the second operation state are respectively a low power consumption state and a non-low power consumption state of the processor.

In order to ensure the stable and error-free implementation of the first delay state, a high-precision timer is generally adopted as the timer.

Fig. 3 shows a specific implementation of blocking type delay with low power consumption of a processor according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the process of this embodiment includes:

firstly, obtaining the initial time of the time delay, then adding the initial time to the time delay length to obtain the overtime time, and then entering a time delay main process, namely a first time delay process of the first embodiment.

Obtaining the current time of the system, subtracting the current time from the overtime time to obtain the residual delay time, and if the residual delay time is less than or equal to 0, indicating that the delay is due, ending the delay process; if the residual delay time is longer than the delay threshold, starting a high-precision timer, setting the interval as the residual delay time, switching the processor to a low-power-consumption mode, and waiting to be awakened by hardware interruption (such as interruption of a set timer) or an event; if the residual delay time is less than or equal to the delay threshold, similar to the traditional method, the current time is obtained in a circulating mode and judged until the delay is finished.

The setting of the delay threshold is mainly based on the following considerations: because the high-precision timer is started, the processor needs to consume the processor time when entering or exiting the low-power consumption mode, and the like, when the duration of the residual delay is so small that the high-precision timer is not enough to be started, and the like, the use of the timer may cause the delay to exceed the preset time, thereby causing inaccurate delay. A delay threshold is thus set and a high-precision timer is used only if the duration of the remaining delay is greater than the threshold.

Fig. 4 shows a diagram of an apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention. The apparatus comprises amemory 100 and aprocessor 200, wherein theprocessor 200 stores a computer program for performing: acquiring a first delay state of a processor, and determining the initial delay time, the delay length and the overtime time point of the first delay state; determining the residual delay time of the first delay state according to the current time, the delay length and the overtime time point; and starting a timer, keeping the processor in a first running state within the residual time delay time constant through the timer, and returning the processor to a second running state after the residual time delay time constant is ended.
