Runtime management of shared resources is crucial for efficient implementation of multimedia applications. Particularly, the energy consumption of SDRAMs is very sensitive to data assignment. This article presents an SDRAM data assignment technique for dynamic multithreaded multimedia and number of deadline violations applications, which, combined with task scheduling, minimizes the energy cost.
