Abstract:
A method and system for managing safe downtime of shared resources within a portable computing device are described. The method may include determining a tolerance for a downtime period for an unacceptable deadline miss element of the portable computing device. Next, the determined tolerance for the downtime period may be transmitted to quality-of-service ("QoS") controller. The QoS controller may determine if the tolerance for the downtime period needs to be adjusted. The QoS controller may receive a downtime request from one or more shared resources of the portable computing device. The QoS controller may determine if the downtime request needs to be adjusted. Next, the QoS controller may select a downtime request for execution and then identify which one or more unacceptable deadline miss elements of the portable computing device that are impacted by the selected downtime request.
