Abstract

In this paper, we present an interprocessor communication-aware task scheduling algorithm applicable to a multiprocessor system executing an application with dependent tasks. Our algorithm takes the application task graph and the architecture graph as inputs,assigns the tasks to processors and then schedules them. As main theoreticalcontribution, the algorithm we propose reduces the overallsystems energy by (i) reducing the total interprocessor communicationand (ii) executing certain cycles at a lower voltage level. Experimentalresults show that by tuning the parameter for communicationawareness, a schedule using our algorithm can reduce upto 80%interprocessor communication in a complex video/audio application(compared to a schedule which is only voltage-selection aware) withoutlosing much in the number of cycles executed at lower voltage.
