Operating system support for multimedia applications
Clifford W. Mercer · 1994
This paper briefly describes a resource reservation operating system abstraction that supports real-time multimedia applications alongside non-real-time applications. This approach facilitates predictable behavior in applications while still maintaining the flexibility required by multimedia applications in a dynamic system. The accompanying video tape shows how to reserve processor capacity for multimedia applications and how to control processor usage even when real-time and non-real-time applications compete for access to system servers.
