Touch based smart phones and tablets have increased rapidly and have become primary mode of computing and communication. Users have to perform various types of touch inputs on these devices to interact with applications and manufacturers are always looking to improve the response time to satisfy users. However, performing touch gestures and making it more responsive has significant effect both on device battery and the microarchitecture. It is therefore important for computer architects and system designers to take into consideration the underlying effects of these touch gestures and user interactions at architectural level. Also, it’s important to understand how efficient the touch architecture in today’s smartphones are, and if there is any possibility to improve their efficiency. Therefore, there is a need to put forward ways to study these effects, and this technical report takes a look at touch interactions, their underlying architecture, and how our proposed implemented system helps improve efficiency at the system level. We call this new implementation, Interrupt Skipping.
