This paper presents a method to reduce the energy of interactive systems for mixed workloads: multimedia applications that require constant output rates and sporadic jobs that need prompt responses. The authors' method divides multimedia programs into stages and inserts data buffers between them. Data buffering has three purposes: (1) to support constant output rates; (2) to allow frequency scaling for energy reduction; and (3) to shorten the response times of sporadic jobs. The authors construct frequency-assignment graphs. Each vertex represents the current state of the buffers and the frequencies of the processor. The authors develop an efficient graph-walk algorithm that assigns frequencies to reduce energy. The same method. can be applied to perform voltage scaling and the combination of frequency and voltage scaling. The authors' experimental results on a Strong-ARM-based computer show that four discrete frequencies are sufficient to achieve nearly maximum energy saving. The method reduces the power consumption of an MPEG program by 46%. The authors also demonstrate a case that shortens the response time of a sporadic job by 55%.
