Explain the contextual factors to be taken into account when adapting multimedia content.

1. Assume that a device can execute 3 million instructions for the same amount of energy (3J) used to transmit or receive 1kbit of data a distance of 100 m by radio. The device has the option of sending a 100-kbyte binary program to a compute server 100 m away, which when run will execute 60 billion instructions and exchange 10,000 x 1 kbit messages with the device. If energy is the only consideration, should the device offload the computation or execute it itself? Assume computation on the device is negligible in the offloaded case.
