Research and Design of Parallel Method for Multi-Core Embedded Browser

A parallel method with multi-threading for multi-core embedded browser is introduced in order to improve the speed of browser in multi-core processors. By putting the user interface into the master thread, and loading resources, parsing, layout and painting into the slave thread, this method parallels the serial processes for Web pages. This method can solve the problem of the browser's slow response and low CPU utilization of multicore processors. The feasibility of the method is verified and the speed of rendering the web pages is improved by 18%~40% with memory less than 64 MB memory according to the testing cases.
