Abstract

This paper proposes a minimum-power scheduling scheme of real-time parallel tasks while meeting deadlines of the real-time tasks on DVFS-enabled multicore processors. The proposed scheme first finds a floating number of processing cores to each task so that the computation load of all processing cores would be equalized. Next the scheme translates the found floating number of cores into a natural number of cores while maintaining the computation load of all cores unchanged, and allocates the translated natural number of cores to the execution of each task. The scheme is designed to minimize the power consumption of the frequency-sharing multicore processor operating with the same processing speed at an instant time. Evaluation shows that the scheme saves up to 38% power consumption of the previous method.
