[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] With the development of the operation mode of applications in electronic devices, applications in electronic devices can be directly interpreted and executed by an interpreter at runtime, and the number of calls and loops of each compilation unit is recorded during the execution process. When the number of calls and loops exceeds the set threshold, the corresponding compilation unit is recorded as a hot compilation unit. Among them, the compilation unit can be understood as a function, method or class in the source code of the application.

[0028] Furthermore, the hotspot compilation unit will be identified and compiled by JIT (Just In Time) and stored to generate a profile file to record the information of the hotspot compilation unit. In this case, when the electronic device enters the idle or charging state, the system of the electronic device will scan the profile file and perform the AOT (Ahead Of Time) process for compilation.

[0029] However, the inventors found in their research on this method that this method relies on the electronic device optimizing the application according to the profile file in idle mode, and because the content of the compilation unit in the profile file is related to the number of times the user uses the application, this optimization method generally achieves the best performance after the user installs or updates the application for a period of time (maybe several days). Furthermore, the inventors also found in their further research that in this related method, the compilation units stored in the profile file corresponding to the application are usually scattered in different functional modules, which is not conducive to the centralized optimization of certain commonly used functions.

[0030] Therefore, the application provides a method, device, electronic device and server for pre-compilation of an application, so that the hotspot compilation unit associated with the target functional module in the target application can be compiled in advance before the target functional module is run, so that the operating efficiency of the target functional module can be improved, and the efficiency of optimizing the operating efficiency of the target functional module can also be improved at the same time.

[0031] The following first introduces a scenario involved in an embodiment of the present application.

[0032] See also Figure 1 ,exist Figure 1 The scenario involved includes multiple electronic devices 100 and a server 200. The multiple electronic devices 100 perform data exchange with the server 200 through a network.

[0033] The target application is running on multiple electronic devices 100, and a configuration file (which may be the aforementioned profile file) 120 is generated corresponding to the target application running on each electronic device 100. In one mode, the multiple electronic devices 100 may upload the configuration files 120 of the target application installed by themselves to the server 200, so that the server may obtain multiple configuration files 120 corresponding to the target application, and then perform fusion processing on the multiple configuration files 120, extract the hotspot compilation unit to which the designated functional module of the target application belongs, store the extracted hotspot compilation unit in the newly generated configuration file 210, and then return the configuration file 210 to the multiple electronic devices 100.

[0034] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, the server 220 can also directly send the program installation package 230 including the configuration file 210 and the installation program 220 of the target application to the electronic device 130 that has not yet installed the target application, so that when the electronic device 130 installs the target application, it can obtain the configuration file 210 that can directly optimize the operating efficiency of the specified functional modules in the target application.

[0035] It should be noted that in Figure 2 In the environment shown, the server that collects multiple configuration files 120 and processes the multiple configuration files 120 to obtain the configuration file 210 may be a single server or a server cluster. In addition, the server that collects multiple configuration files 120 and processes the multiple configuration files 120 to obtain the configuration file 210 may be a different server from the server that subsequently issues the program installation package 230.

[0036] Furthermore, the first configuration file mentioned in the subsequent embodiments may be the configuration file 120, and the second configuration file mentioned may be the newly generated configuration file 210. The hotspot compilation unit in the newly generated configuration file 210 may be a hotspot compilation unit compiled by the server 200, or may be a hotspot compilation unit that has not been compiled yet. In the case where the hotspot compilation unit in the newly generated configuration file 210 is a hotspot compilation unit that has not been compiled yet, the electronic device that receives the newly generated configuration file 210 may compile it before running the target application, or may compile it when installing the target application.

[0037] The content of this application will be introduced below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0038] See also Figure 3 The present application provides a method for precompiling an application program, which is applied to a server and includes:

[0039] Step S110: Acquire multiple first configuration files corresponding to the target application, wherein the multiple first configuration files are used to record hotspot compilation units of the target application installed in their respective electronic devices, wherein the hotspot compilation units are compilation units that allow advance compilation before the target application runs.

[0040] It should be noted that multiple applications can be run in an electronic device. And each application can be configured with a corresponding configuration file during the running process. The configuration file is used to record the hotspot compilation unit of the corresponding application during the running process. Exemplarily, application A, application B and application C are installed in the electronic device. Then application A can correspond to a corresponding configuration file a, and application B can correspond to a corresponding configuration file b, and application C can correspond to a corresponding configuration file c. Then in this case, the hotspot compilation unit of application A is recorded in configuration file a, the hotspot compilation unit of application B is recorded in configuration file b, and the hotspot compilation unit of application C is recorded in configuration file c. Among them, the applications installed for different electronic devices can be different or the same. For example, application A, application B and application C can be installed on multiple electronic devices.

[0041] It can be understood that the target application is the application to which the configuration file belongs that will perform subsequent steps of processing. In the embodiment of the present application, the server can determine the target application in a variety of ways.

[0042] As a method, the server can use applications with a large number of installations as target applications. Optionally, the electronic device can periodically upload application installation information to the server, and the application installation information includes applications currently installed by the electronic device. Then the server can collect statistics on application installation information regularly uploaded by multiple electronic devices, and if it is detected that the installation volume of a certain application is greater than the installation threshold, the application with the installation volume greater than the installation threshold can be used as the target application.

[0043] For example, there are 100 electronic devices that have uploaded application installation information to the server, and 90 of them have application A installed. If the installation threshold is 80, the server can use application A as the target application. In this way, the server can optimize the operating efficiency of applications with a large number of installations in a timely manner.

[0044] As another way, the electronic device can determine the target application based on the installation volume and the size of the corresponding configuration file. It should be noted that different applications have different configuration files of different sizes due to their own functions or operating frequencies, and the electronic device needs to consume certain resources and time to compile the hotspot compilation units in the configuration file in advance before the application runs. For applications with smaller configuration files, it can be determined that their operating frequency may be lower, and the server can not process the configuration files belonging to these applications with lower operating frequencies. Correspondingly, in this way, the application installation information reported by the electronic device can include the size of the configuration file to which each application belongs in addition to the installed applications. When the server detects that the size of the configuration file to which the same application belongs in multiple electronic devices is greater than the specified threshold, the same application can be used as the target application.

[0045] For example, there are 100 electronic devices that have uploaded application installation information to the server, and 90 of them have application A installed. Then, each of the 90 electronic devices has a configuration file for application A installed (that is, it can be understood that there are 90 configuration files). If the server recognizes that 80 of its 90 configuration files are less than 1kb, then when the installation threshold is 80, the specified threshold is 10kb, and the threshold number is 50, the server will not use application A as the target application. However, if the server recognizes that 60 of the 90 configuration files (greater than the threshold number 50) are 11-12kb in size (greater than the specified threshold 10kb), then it can be determined that application A is the target application.

[0046] As another way, the server can also determine the target application based on the configuration information. In this way, which applications are target applications can be determined by manual configuration. Exemplarily, the server can use the applications involved in the application installation information reported by multiple electronic devices as candidate applications, and the operator can select one or more applications from the candidate applications as selected applications. Correspondingly, the server stores the selected applications in a configuration file. In this case, the server can use the applications configured in the configuration file as target applications.

[0047] After determining the target application based on the above method, the server can further use the writing information file of the target application as the first configuration file. In the embodiment of the present application, the multiple first configuration files corresponding to the target application can be understood as the configuration files of the same target application installed in multiple electronic devices.

[0048] Step S120: Acquire multiple target hotspot compiling units based on the multiple hotspot compiling units recorded in the multiple first configuration files, wherein the multiple target hotspot compiling units include hotspot compiling units belonging to target functional modules in the target application.

[0049] It should be noted that even if the configuration files belong to the same application, because the same application is running on different electronic devices, the multiple hotspot compilation units included in each of the multiple first configuration files may also be different. It is understandable that an application usually includes multiple functions, and different functions are implemented by different functional modules. For example, application A may include a camera function, an instant messaging function, and a picture editing function. Then the camera function is implemented by the camera module, the instant messaging function is implemented by the instant messaging module, and the picture editing function is implemented by the picture editing module.

[0050] However, the hotspot compilation units in the configuration files to which the application A running on different electronic devices belongs may be different due to the user's usage habits. For example, if electronic device A, electronic device B, and electronic device C are each installed with application A. The user of electronic device A likes to use the camera function, the user of electronic device B likes to use the instant messaging function, and the user of electronic device C likes to use the picture editing function. Then in this case, in electronic device A, the configuration file to which application A belongs contains more hotspot compilation units about the camera function module. In electronic device B, the configuration file to which application A belongs contains more hotspot compilation units about the instant messaging function module. In electronic device C, the configuration file to which application A belongs contains more hotspot compilation units about the picture editing function module.

[0051] Then, after the server obtains multiple first configuration files corresponding to the target application, it can read the compilation information units from the multiple first configuration files respectively to obtain multiple hotspot compilation units. Exemplarily, the multiple first configuration files obtained by the server include configuration file A, configuration file B and configuration file C. Among them, configuration file A includes hotspot compilation unit a1, hotspot compilation unit a2 and hotspot compilation unit a3. Configuration file B includes hotspot compilation unit b1, hotspot compilation unit b2, hotspot compilation unit b3 and hotspot compilation unit b4. Configuration file C includes hotspot compilation unit c1, hotspot compilation unit c2 and hotspot compilation unit c3. Then in this case, the multiple hotspot compilation units obtained include hotspot compilation unit a1, hotspot compilation unit a2, hotspot compilation unit a3, hotspot compilation unit b1, hotspot compilation unit b2, hotspot compilation unit b3, hotspot compilation unit b4, hotspot compilation unit c1, hotspot compilation unit c2 and hotspot compilation unit c3. In addition, fewer hotspot compilation units may also be included.

[0052] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the target hotspot compilation unit obtained is a hotspot compilation unit belonging to a specified functional module. In the embodiment of the present application, the server can determine the target hotspot compilation unit in a variety of ways.

[0053] As a method, the server can sequentially calculate the probability that any two hotspot compilation units among the multiple hotspot compilation units obtained based on the multiple first configuration files appear in the same configuration file, obtain multiple calculated probabilities, and then convert the calculated probabilities into a probability model, so as to take the hotspot compilation units that appear together with a higher probability as a set, and obtain multiple sets of hotspot compilation units. It should be noted that the hotspot compilation units that appear together with a higher probability can represent the hotspot compilation units belonging to the same functional module. In this case, the hotspot compilation units in the same set represent the hotspot compilation units belonging to the same functional module, and the functional module corresponding to each set is the specified functional module. Optionally, among the multiple sets obtained, only the sets in which the number of included hotspot compilation units is greater than the specified number are retained, and each set represents the functional module with a higher frequency of use. Therefore, based on the joint probability of the hotspot compilation units, the hotspot compilation units belonging to the functional modules with higher video frequencies are obtained, so as to facilitate the unified compilation of the hotspot compilation units belonging to the functional modules with higher usage frequencies in the subsequent implementation. At the same time, it is also possible to estimate the hotspot compilation units belonging to the same functional module based on the correlation between any two hotspot compilation units (in one method, the greater the joint probability, the higher the correlation, and if the correlation is higher than a specified correlation threshold, it is determined to belong to the same functional module).

[0054] As another way, each function of the application will correspond to an operation interface, and the operation interface will correspond to an interface identifier. In this case, when the electronic device generates a configuration file belonging to a certain application, it can also generate a corresponding function module frequency file. The function module frequency file is used to record the usage frequency of each function module of the application to which it belongs. In this case, when the server obtains multiple first configuration files corresponding to the target application, it can also simultaneously obtain multiple function module frequency files corresponding to the target application, and then calculate which function modules in the target application are the function modules with high overall usage frequency based on the multiple function module frequency files, and then use the function modules with high usage frequency as designated function modules, so that the target hotspot compilation unit belonging to the function module with high usage frequency can be obtained from the multiple hotspot compilation units obtained based on the multiple first configuration files.

[0055] Step S130: Generate a second configuration file including the plurality of target hotspot compilation units.

[0056] Step S140: pre-compile the plurality of target hotspot compilation units based on the second configuration file.

[0057] The present application provides a method for pre-compiling an application program, which obtains a first configuration file corresponding to a target application program installed in each of a plurality of electronic devices, so as to obtain a plurality of first configuration files for recording hotspot compilation units of the target application program installed in each of the electronic devices, obtains a plurality of target hotspot compilation units belonging to a target function module in the target application program from the plurality of hotspot compilation units included in the plurality of first configuration files, and generates a second configuration file including the plurality of target hotspot compilation units. Thus, the hotspot compilation unit associated with the target function module in the target application program can be compiled in advance before the target function module is run before the target application program is run, so that the operating efficiency of the target function module can be improved, and the efficiency of optimizing the operating efficiency of the target function module is also improved at the same time.

[0058] See also Figure 4 The present application provides a method for precompiling an application program, which is applied to a server and includes:

[0059] Step S210: Acquire multiple first configuration files corresponding to the target application, wherein the multiple first configuration files are used to record hotspot compilation units of the target application installed in their respective electronic devices, wherein the hotspot compilation units are compilation units that allow advance compilation before the target application runs.

[0060] Step S220: Calculate a joint probability between any two hotspot coding units among the multiple hotspot coding units included in the multiple first configuration files, where the joint probability represents a probability that the any two hotspot coding units appear in the same first configuration file.

[0061] As a method, the server may first obtain the number of times t that any two coding units appear in the same profile file, and then divide the number t by N to obtain the joint probability of the occurrence of any two coding units, where N is the number of multiple hotspot coding units included in the multiple first profiles.

[0062] Step S230: obtaining a plurality of target hotspot compilation units based on the joint probability calculation, wherein the plurality of target hotspot compilation units include hotspot compilation units belonging to target functional modules in the target application.

[0063] As a way, Figure 5 As shown, the step of obtaining multiple target hotspot compilation units based on the joint probability calculation includes:

[0064] Step S231: Generate a joint probability matrix based on the multiple hotspot coding units included in the multiple first configuration files.

[0065] For example, see Figure 6 , if the multiple hot coding units included in the multiple first configuration files include hot coding units such as Unit_a, Unit_b, Unit_c, Unit_d, Unit_e, Unit_m, Unit_o, and Unit_p, then the generated joint probability matrix can be as follows Figure 6 As shown. The area where any two hotspot coding units intersect each other is the joint probability of the any two hotspot coding units. For example, the intersection area 99 is the joint probability between Unit_a and Unit_p, and the intersection area 98 is the joint probability between Unit_d and Unit_p.

[0066] For example, in Figure 6 In the probability matrix shown, each intersection area can correspond to a position coordinate, so that the server can obtain the joint probability corresponding to each intersection area. Among them, i can be used as the horizontal coordinate and j as the vertical coordinate. In this case, if the coordinates of any two compilation units are (i, j) and (j, i), the number of times the corresponding two compilation units (i, j) appear in the same first configuration file is n i,j , then the server can obtain the joint probability of the occurrence of any two compilation units as

[0067] Step S232: converting the joint probability matrix into a probability graph model, wherein each vertex in the probability graph model represents a hotspot coding unit, and the edges between adjacent hotspot coding units represent the joint probability that the adjacent hotspot coding units appear in the same configuration file.

[0068] For example, see Figure 7 , Figure 7 A probabilistic graph model is exemplarily shown in . In this model, there are nodes a, b, c, d, e, m, o and p. Each node guarantees a hotspot compilation unit, for example, node a represents the hotspot compilation unit Unit_a, node b represents the hotspot compilation unit Unit_b, node c represents the hotspot compilation unit Unit_c, node d represents the hotspot compilation unit Unit_d, node e represents the hotspot compilation unit Unit_e, node m represents the hotspot compilation unit Unit_m, node p represents the hotspot compilation unit Unit_p, and node o represents the hotspot compilation unit Unit_o.

[0069] Step S233: Obtain multiple complete subgraphs by performing a complete subgraph query on the probabilistic graph model, wherein the nodes of each complete subgraph represent hot compilation units in the same functional module belonging to the target application, and the functional modules corresponding to the multiple complete subgraphs are target functional modules.

[0070] Among them, optionally, the step of obtaining multiple complete subgraphs by performing a complete subgraph query on the probability graph model includes: performing a complete subgraph query to obtain the maximum complete subgraph in the probability graph model corresponding to the current search process, wherein the probability graph model corresponding to the first search process is the probability graph model obtained by converting the joint probability matrix; removing the maximum complete subgraph from the probability graph model corresponding to the current search process, and obtaining the probability graph model corresponding to the next search process, so as to obtain multiple complete subgraphs.

[0071] In this way, before performing the complete subgraph query, the method further includes: removing the edges whose joint probabilities are less than the target probability threshold in the probability graph model obtained by the joint probability matrix conversion, and obtaining the probability graph model to be queried; the probability graph model corresponding to the first search process is the probability graph model to be queried. Optionally, the target probability threshold ranges from 0.1 to 0.9.

[0072] For example, based on Figure 7 The probabilistic graph model shown can be queried to obtain the complete subgraph U1 = {a, b, d, n}, the complete subgraph U2 = {b, m}, and the complete subgraph U3 = {p, e}.

[0073] Step S234: taking the hotspot coding units represented by all the nodes of the multiple complete subgraphs as target hotspot coding units, to obtain multiple target hotspot coding units.

[0074] Based on the complete subgraph determined above, the target hotspot compilation units obtained include Unit_a, Unit_b, Unit_c, Unit_d, Unit_e, Unit_m, and Unit_p.

[0075] Optionally, the step of taking the hotspot compilation units represented by all nodes of the multiple complete subgraphs as target hotspot compilation units to obtain multiple target hotspot compilation units includes: obtaining a target complete subgraph from the multiple complete subgraphs, the target complete subgraph being a complete subgraph including a number of nodes that is not less than the number of target nodes; taking the hotspot compilation units represented by all nodes of the target complete subgraph as target hotspot compilation units to obtain multiple target hotspot compilation units.

[0076] It should be noted that the target number of nodes can be any value in the range of 1 to 100.

[0077] Step S240: Generate a second configuration file including the plurality of target hotspot compilation units.

[0078] Step S250: pre-compile the plurality of target hotspot compilation units based on the second configuration file.

[0079] The present application provides a method for pre-compiling an application program, which obtains a first configuration file corresponding to a target application program installed in each of a plurality of electronic devices, so as to obtain a plurality of first configuration files for recording hotspot compilation units of the target application program installed in each of the electronic devices, obtains a plurality of target hotspot compilation units belonging to a target function module in the target application program from the plurality of hotspot compilation units included in the plurality of first configuration files, and generates a second configuration file including the plurality of target hotspot compilation units. Thus, the hotspot compilation unit associated with the target function module in the target application program can be compiled in advance before the target function module is run before the target application program is run, so that the operating efficiency of the target function module can be improved, and the efficiency of optimizing the operating efficiency of the target function module is also improved at the same time.

[0080] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present application, the joint probability between any two hotspot compilation units among the multiple hotspot compilation units included in the multiple first configuration files is calculated, and the joint probability matrix is ​​converted into a probability graph model. Then, the maximum complete subgraph is queried for the probability graph model to obtain multiple complete subgraphs to obtain target hotspot compilation units to which multiple specified functional modules belong, and then multiple target hotspot compilation units are obtained, thereby achieving the acquisition of target hotspot compilation units belonging to the same functional module by probability estimation.

[0081] See also Figure 8 The present application provides a method for precompiling an application program, which is applied to a server and includes:

[0082] Step S310: Obtain installation rates of multiple candidate application programs, where the installation rates are the ratio of the number of electronic devices on which the candidate application programs are installed to the number of all electronic devices.

[0083] For example, there are 100 electronic devices that have uploaded application installation information to the server (then the electronic devices that have uploaded application installation information here are all electronic devices), and 90 of them have application A installed. Then the application A installed in these 90 electronic devices each has a configuration file (that is, it can be understood that there are 90 configuration files), so the installation rate here is 90 / 100=0.9.

[0084] Step S320: Obtain a storage space occupancy parameter of a configuration file of each of the candidate applications, wherein the storage space occupancy parameter is the number of candidate applications whose corresponding configuration files occupy a storage space greater than a specified storage space occupancy value in the electronic device on which the candidate applications are installed.

[0085] Step S330: select the candidate application whose corresponding installation rate and storage space occupation parameter meet the specified conditions as the target application.

[0086] Step S340: Acquire multiple first configuration files corresponding to the target application, wherein the multiple first configuration files are used to record the hotspot compilation units of the target application installed in the electronic devices to which they belong, and the hotspot compilation units are compilation units that allow advance compilation before the target application runs.

[0087] Step S350: Acquire multiple target hotspot compiling units based on the multiple hotspot compiling units recorded in the multiple first configuration files, wherein the multiple target hotspot compiling units include hotspot compiling units belonging to target functional modules in the target application.

[0088] Step S360: Generate a second configuration file including the plurality of target hotspot compilation units, so as to be used for pre-compiling the plurality of target hotspot compilation units before the target functional module runs.

[0089] Step S370: Send the second configuration file to the electronic device on which the target application is installed.

[0090] The present application provides a method for pre-compiling an application program, which obtains a first configuration file corresponding to a target application program installed in each of a plurality of electronic devices, so as to obtain a plurality of first configuration files for recording hotspot compilation units of the target application program installed in each of the electronic devices, obtains a plurality of target hotspot compilation units belonging to a target function module in the target application program from the plurality of hotspot compilation units included in the plurality of first configuration files, and generates a second configuration file including the plurality of target hotspot compilation units.
