Abstract

We address power minimization of earliest deadline first and rate monotonic schedules by voltage and frequency scaling. We prove that the problems are NP-hard, and present (1+∈) fully polynomial time approximation techniques that generate solutions which are guaranteed to be within a specified quality bound (QB= ∈) (say within 1% of the optimal). We demonstrate that our techniques can match optimal solutions when QB is set at 1%, out perform existing approaches [1] even when QB is set at 10%, generate solutions that are quite close to optimal (< 5%) even when QB is set at higher values (25%), and execute in a fraction of a second (with QB > 5%) for large 100 node task sets.

Rate monotonic vs. EDF: judgment day

Since the first results published in 1973 by Liu and Layland on the Rate Monotonic (RM) and Earliest Deadline First (EDF) algorithms, a lot of progress has been made in the schedulability analysis of periodic task sets. Unfortunately, many ...
Job vs. portioned partitioning for the earliest deadline first semi-partitioned scheduling

In this paper, we focus on the semi-partitioned scheduling of sporadic tasks with constrained deadlines and identical processors. We study two cases of semi-partitioning: (i) the case where the worst case execution time (WCET) of a job can be portioned, ...
Buffer minimization in earliest-deadline first scheduling of dataflow graphs
LCTES '13

Symbolic schedulability analysis of dataflow graphs is the process of synthesizing the timing parameters (i.e. periods, phases, and deadlines) of actors so that the task system is schedulable and achieves a high throughput when using a specific ...
