Cells


Key Observation

large: lots of windows/apps

small:one app at a time

9

Cells


Key Observation

screen real-estate is limited, and mobile phone users are accustomed to interacting with one thing at time

10

Cells


Usage Model

foreground / background

11

Cells


• multiple, isolated virtual phones (VPs) on a single mobile device

• 100% device support in each VP‣ unique phone numbers - single SIM!‣ accelerated 3D graphics!

Complete Virtualization

12

Cells


• less than 2% overhead in runtime tests• imperceptible switch time among VPs

Efficient Virtualization

13

Cells


• each VP sees / uses all devices• user can run any unmodified apps• foreground VP switches like an app

Transparent Virtualization
