Abstract

Our interactive animation software is written in JavaScript, and is serial execution. However, it has a problem, which is related to drawing intervals. In case the software has to process a number of animation objects, it takes a long time. The longer drawing intervals are, the slower speed of animation playing is. So, we parallelize interactive animation software with Web Workers that is one part of HTML5. We partition drawing animation with some approaches, and parallelize their process. This time, we report the parallelization approach that takes into consideration the property of Web Workers and the interactive animation software.
