Abstract

There is provided a method for an I/O (input/output) scheduling method, the method comprises: assigning a system call identifier to each of a plurality of I/O requests derived from at least one system call requested by at least one application; sorting the plurality of I/O requests in order of the system call identifier; and transferring the sorted plurality of I/O requests to a computer-readable storage medium. Accordingly, in a mobile or desktop environment in which an application that frequently interacts with the user is executed, it is possible to minimize the read delay time increased due to file fragmentation, and moreover, it is possible to improve the user experience (UX).
