Abstract
Disclosed herein is a technique for maintaining a responsive user interface for a user while preserving battery life of a user device by dynamically determining the interrupt rate/interrupt time at the user device. Based on priority tier information associated with the I/O requests along with the directionality and size of the I/O requests, a determination can be made regarding how the interrupt rate/interrupt time can be adjusted to achieve acceptable user interface (UI) responsiveness and maximum power savings.
