Abstract
In this paper, we propose the novel concept of probabilistic
design for multimedia systems and a methodology to
quickly explore such design space at an early design stage.
The probabilistic design is motivated by the challenge of
how to design, but not over-design, multimedia embedded
systems while systematically incorporating such application’s
performance requirements, uncertainties in execution
time, and tolerance for reasonable execution failures. Our
goal is to bridge the gap between real-time analysis and
embedded software implementation for rapid and economic
(multimedia) system prototyping. Our method takes advantage
of multimedia system’s unique features mentioned
above to relax the rigid hardware requirements for software
implementation and eventually avoid over-designing
the system.
