Abstract

To allow mobile devices to support resource intensive applications beyond their capabilities, mobile-cloud offloading is introduced to extend the resources of mobile devices by leveraging cloud resources. In this chapter, we will survey the state-of-the-art in VM-based mobile-cloud offloading techniques including their software and architectural aspects in detail. For the software aspects, we will provide the current improvements to different layers of various virtualization systems, particularly focusing on mobile-cloud offloading. Approaches at different offloading granularities will be reviewed and their advantages and disadvantages will be discussed. For the architectural support aspects of the virtualization, three platforms including Intel x86, ARM and NVidia GPUs will be reviewed in terms of their special architectural designs to accommodate virtualization and VM-based offloading.
