Abstract

This paper proposes a reducing power consumption of a scheduling algorithm for optimal selection of supply voltage. In scheduling of reduction power consumption, we determine the control steps of operations to be executed by exploiting the possibility of using variable voltage levels to reduce power consumption. In the optimal selection of supply voltage binding, we minimize the main factor of the power consumption of the switching activity on the registers using a graph coloring technique. From a set of experiments using high-level benchmark examples, we show that the proposed algorithm prefer to use optimal selection supply voltages rather than uniformed single voltage is effective in reducing power consumption.

본 논문은 시간 제약 조건하에서의 최적 선택 공급 전압을 위한 전력 감소 스케줄링 알고리듬을 제안한다. 전력감소 스케줄링에서는 전력소비를 줄이기 위해 가변 전압 레벨을 이용해 최적 공급 전압을 선택 휴리스틱 방법으로 연산을 수행하여 제어 스텝을 결정한다. 그리고 최적 선택 공급 전압 바인딩에서는 그래프 컬러링 기법을 이용해 레지스터 상의 전력 소비의 주원인인 스위칭 활동을 최소화한다. 상위 수준 벤치마크 예제를 이용한 실험으로부터 우리는 최적 선택 공급 전압을 이용한 제안한 알고리듬이 획일화된 단일 전압을 이용한 알고리듬보다 전력 소비를 줄이는데 효율적임을 보인다.
