Method for storing a multimedia title including an occurrence table and an execution profile table therefor unitary storage medium provided with such title and a platform subsystem for evaluating memory and processing requirements for such application

摘要

A multimedia application title is stored for execution on different platforms. Associated to the title is an occurrence table that lists the number of occurrences of each of at least a substantial fraction of all operations in the application, and also an execution profile table that lists the relative execution occurrence frequencies of each of at least a substantial fraction of all operations in the application. When loading the application title, its occurrence and execution profile tables are accessed. Through OP2INS and MOPS2MIPS conversion data for each operation, memory and processing requirements for executing the title are evaluated and an evaluation result signalled to a user.
