  1. Operating System support for Multimedia • QoS (Quality of Service) in Multimedia OS • Ashish Ranjan • Multimedia File System • Jaydeep Punde • CPU Scheduling in Multimedia OS • Arun Singal

  2. Operating system • Operating system is responsible for orderly and controlled allocation of resources among the various executing programs competing for them. • Main emphasis of commodity OS (unix, NT) is to reach fairness and efficiency. • No guarantee given to an application for timely execution.

  3. Multimedia characteristics • Multimedia needs real time support. • If data is not processed at certain pace and within a certain deadline the data looses its meaning. • Adhering to deadlines is desirable but not absolutely necessary, i.e it is soft real time in nature.

  4. Problems with existing systems • Does not support soft real time characteristic of multimedia stream. • When real time algorithms applied, other application starve. • Need to support all types of application, i.e both best effort and real time.

  5. Problems Cont..... • No existing algorithm to satisfy both best effort and real time need. • So, how to schedule/reserve resources for application?

  6. QoS Paradigm • QoS means to provide reliable and efficient data delivery service. • To support all types of application, a middleware necessary to manage resources. • Encompasses both HRT and SRT paradigm. • Provides probabilistic assurance that resource requirement will be satisfied a certain fraction of time.

  7. QoS Requirements • Multimedia QoS requirement as described by the high level parameters are • Throughput • Delay • Jitter • reliability

  8. Resource Management and QoS • Tasks • Specification • It is concerned with capturing application level quality of service requirements and management policies • QoS mapping • This is concerned with converting the high level specification into actual resource level parameters (low level parameters)

  9. Tasks Contd.... • Admission control • includes a test whether enough resources are available to satisfy the request without interfering with the previously granted request • allocation and scheduling • This is where actual resources are allocated and scheduled • Accounting/Policing • implies tracking down the resources consumed by the task • Deallocation

  10. Task Contd... QoS Specification

  11. Mapping • Why Mapping is necessary? • QoS parametres are specified at a high level • Exact resource requirement are not known to application

  12. QoS Mapping • Scaling • As the data passes trough different layers of protocol, protocol headers are attached to the frame, which increases its size, and hence scaling of required application bandwidth is done • Delay Partioning • The delay is partitioned across each module.

  13. Bottlenecks for providing QoS • QoS should be supported at all layers of communication • Data packets from the network are processed in First in first out basis for all connection • Kernel do a lot of hidden processing with high priority • The layered architecture of the communication systems may imply considerable data movement in the protocols • Accounting in OS.

  14. Nemesis • Designed with a view to support QoS paradigm • Single address space to avoid context swithching

  15. QoS in Nemesis

  16. Conclusion • QoS paradigm encompasses both HRT and SRT and hence is best suited for multimedia system. • QoS should be provided at each layer to achieve the desired goal.
