Abstract:
The VuSystem is a software-intensive video environment developed on
operating systems without real- time features. In the course of our
work with this system, interesting questions have been brought up
about how resources on a workstation can be best divided between
applications, and what resource management features (if any) are
required. This paper's main purpose is to outline a rationale for
collaborative load shedding and to create an awareness within the
operating system community; it also discusses some our early
experiences with simple collaborative load shedding schemes.
