Abstract EN
The emergence of mobile and battery operated multimedia systems and the diversity of supported applications mount new challenges in terms of design efficiency of these systems which must provide a maximum application quality of service (QoS) in the presence of a dynamically varying environment.
These optimization problems cannot be entirely solved at design time and some efficiency gains can be obtained at run-time by means of self-adaptivity.
In this paper, we propose a new cross-layer hardware (HW)/software (SW) adaptation solution for embedded mobile systems.
It supports application QoS under real-time and lifetime constraints via coordinated adaptation in the hardware, operating system (OS), and application layers.
Our method relies on an original middleware solution used on both global and local managers.
The global manager (GM) handles large, long-term variations whereas the local manager (LM) is used to guarantee real-time constraints.
The GM acts in three layers whereas the LM acts in application and OS layers only.
The main role of GM is to select the best configuration for each application to meet the constraints of the system and respect the preferences of the user.
The proposed approach has been applied to a 3D graphics application and successfully implemented on an Altera FPGA.
