Abstract

A method and system for operating a programmable processing device to reduce distortion in an outputted signal. The method includes: providing data being indicative of a plurality of operational states, each of the states being with at least one of a plurality of operational modes of the device, a complexity of operations and a distortion level; selecting one of the states for each of the complexities using the data and based upon the distortion levels; determining an operating status of the device; and, selecting which of the operational modes to operate the device in for each of the complexities responsively to the determined (minimal distortion) status using the selected states. The system includes: at least one scalable application being operable in plurality of modes each having a different complexity of operations characteristic; a QOS resource manager for tracking how much computing resources are available for use by the at least one scalable application; a strategy manager for determining whether the available resources are suitable for operation of the scalable application in a given one of the modes; and, a local resource control responsive to the strategy manager and for…
