Adaptive Resource Management in a Multimedia Operating System
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper highlights the need for adaptive resource management within the endsystem, in addition to the provision of basic QoS guarantees, in order to maximize the users’ perceived performance of their applications at any given time within the limits of the physical resources available. A prototype system developed within the Nemesis multimedia operating system [7] is described. The system provides support for the dynamic adaptation of applications according to user-controlled resource allocation policies. The paper also identifies interesting directions for further work in future.

A Framework for Adaptive Resource Management in a Multimedia Operating System
This paper highlights the need for adaptive resource management within the endsystem, in addition to the provision of basic QoS guarantees, in order to maximize the users’ perceived performance of their applications at any given time within the limits of the physical resources available. A prototype system developed within the Nemesis multimedia operating system [7] is described. The system pro...
متن کاملQuality Adaptation in a Multisession Multimedia System: Model, Algorithms and Architecture
Flexible and adaptive quality of service (QoS) is desirable for real-time multi-media applications. Suppose a multimedia system is supporting a 30 frame/second video stream which is using a network bandwidth of 2 Mbps, and due to network congestion the network bandwidth is reduced to 1 Mbps. It is desirable that the system supports graceful adaptation of quality of the video stream, for example...
متن کاملMiddleware QoS Agents and Native Kernel Schedulers for Adaptive Multimedia Services and Cluster Servers
Emerging operating systems allow user applications ne grain control over their own resource allocations. This provides a promising approach for user applications to meet their timing constraints. In a distributed environment , however, resource allocation decisions must also be made across machine and traditional OS boundaries. As portable and mobile software entities, middleware agents can man...
متن کاملResource Partitioning in General Purpose Operating Systems
The principal role of the operating system is that of resource management. Its task is to present a set of appropriate services to the applications and users it supports. Traditionally, generalpurpose operating systems, including Windows NT, federate resource sharing in a fair manner, with the predominant goal of efficient resource utilisation. As a result the chosen scheduling algorithms are n...
متن کاملAgilos: a Middleware Control Architecture for Application-aware Quality of Service Adaptations
In heterogeneous network and operating system environments with a fair amount of performance variations, multiple applications compete and share a limited amount of system resources, and suffer from variations in resource availability. These complex applications, such as OmniTrack, a client-server based omni-directional visual tracking application, are thus desired to adapt themselves and to ad...
