OdysseyAgile, Application-Aware Adaptation for Mobility Kip Walker some slides “borrowed” from Satya A Glimpse of the Future Imagine you are a tourist in Paris with a wearable computer wireless access to remote services unobtrusive heads-up display, microphone, earphones speech for computer interactions online language translation Let’s go . . . . . . Problems with Mobility Mobile elements are resource-poor relative to static elements of same era weight, power, size constraints Mobility leads to communication uncertainty enormous variation in bandwidth latency intermittent connectivity Power management is a concern actions may have to be slowed or deferred communication costs energy need to rely on resources of remote servers, but may not be able to reach them! What Knobs Do We Have? Where work gets done let powerful remote servers do the work How snazzy the data is: “Fidelity” degrade data meaningfully before giving to mobile host has many dimensions one is universal: consistency others depend on data type movies: frame rate, frame quality geographical databases: feature set, minimum feature size tradeoffs are application-dependent Cutting to the chase… We built a prototype runs on several UN*X platforms logically an OS extension provides a small API to applications Implementation follows directly from the high-level design need data type aware components to offer fidelity choices need a central piece to watch the resources (network, etc.) Viceroy and Wardens System-level data differentiation through wardens specialized code components (a la device drivers) provides system-level support to manage a data type trusted entities (unlike applications) Wardens subordinate to viceroy single, central component type-independent, system-level support responsible for all resource allocation, arbitration central point of authority and control for Odyssey Client Structure Resource Negotiation Applications give viceroy a window of tolerance for some resour
