  • Publication number: 20240103913
    Abstract: A task scheduling method and system, and a hardware task scheduler are disclosed, and pertain to the field of computer technologies. The hardware task scheduler provides task scheduling for a central processing unit CPU core to select a candidate task. After selecting the candidate task, the CPU core actively sends metadata of the candidate task to a first storage area, and actively sends a context of the candidate task to a cache, where the first storage area is located in storage space whose access speed is higher than that of a memory. When performing task switching, the CPU core reads the metadata of the candidate task from the first storage area, and reads the context of the candidate task from the cache. In this way, latency of obtaining the metadata and the context of the candidate task by the CPU core is reduced, and low-latency task switching is implemented.

  • Publication number: 20230407541
    Abstract: A ventilation control method for a laundry device to solve problems related to bacteria after clothes are washed in a laundry device, due to the moist interior of a drum assembly thereof. When an air intake fan is started, the present current of the air intake fan is acquired; if the present current of the air intake fan reaches a pre-set current value, water is injected into a water intake pipe to trigger a siphoning apparatus to discharge water from the water intake pipe, and a drum assembly is then ventilated; and if the present current of the air intake fan does not reach the pre-set current value, the drum assembly is directly ventilated. After clothes are washed, residual water inside a drum assembly can be air-dried, preventing breeding of bacteria and generation, and clothes are not subjected to secondary pollution during subsequent washes, thereby improving the user experience.
