Abstract

We propose Energy-constrained Multiprocessor Real-Time Scheduling algorithms for (m,k)-firm deadline constrained tasks (EMRTS-MK). Rather than simply saving as much energy as possible, we consider energy as hard constraint under which the system remains functional and delivers an acceptable performance at least during the prescribed mission time. We evaluate EMRTS-MKs in several experiments, which quantitatively show that they achieve the scheduling objectives.

본 연구에서는 전력량 제약을 가진 멀티프로세서 시스템에서 (m,k)-firm 데드라인을 갖는 실시간 태스크를 효율적으로 스케줄링 할 수 있는 방법으로 EMRTS-MK(Energy-constrained Multiprocessor Real-Time Scheduling algorithms for (m,k)-firm deadline constrained tasks) 를 제안한다. EMRTS-MK는 단지 전력 소모량을 최소로 줄이는 것이 목표가 아니라 한정된 전력량을 고려하여 시스템이 주어진 임무 시간(Mission Time) 동안 최소한의 서비스 품질을 보장하고 동시에 가능하면 최대한의 서비스 품질을 제공함을 목표로 한다. 본 연구에서는 상용멀티코어 환경에서 EMRTS-MK를 구현하여 성능을 평가하였으며, 제안된 알고리즘이 (m,k)-firm 데드라인을 갖는 멀티미디어 서비스를 효과적으로 지원해 줄 수 있다는 것을 보였다.
