Periodic Reward-Based Scheduling and Its Application to Power-Aware Real-Time Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this chapter, we introduce Reward-based and Power-aware scheduling frameworks. Reward-based scheduling is based on the principle of trading precision for timeliness and it is particularly suitable for real-time applications when worst-case guarantees cannot be provided due to overload conditions and/or faults. Power-aware scheduling exploits the convex relation between the CPU speed and the power dissipation: it is targeted towards saving energy through the reduction of the CPU speed and the supply voltage. However, utmost care must be exercised in order to still satisfy the timing constraints when using the reduced speed. We show that two frameworks are closely related and we provide an overview of the major research findings in these areas for periodic real-time applications.

Safety Verification of Real Time Systems Serving Periodic Devices
In real-time systems response to a request from a controlled object must be correct and timely. Any late response to a request from such a device might lead to a catastrophy. The possibility of a task overrun, i.e., missing the deadline for completing a requested task, must be checked and removed during the design of such systems. Safe design of real-time systems running periodic tasks under th...

Microgrid (MG) is considered as a feasible solution to integrate the distributed energy sources. In this paper, optimal scheduling of a grid-connected MG is investigated considering different power sources as combined heat and power (CHP) units, only power and heat generating units, and battery storage systems. Two different feasible operating regions are considered for the CHP units. In additi...

In this paper, we address power-aware scheduling of periodic hard real-time tasks using dynamic voltage scaling. Our solution includes three parts: (a) a static (off-line) solution to compute the optimal speed, assuming worst-case workload for each arrival, (b) an on-line speed reduction mechanism to reclaim energy by adapting to the actual workload, and (c) an online, adaptive and speculative ...

Multiprocessor environment is used for processor intensive real-time applications, where tasks are assigned to processor subject to some pre-defined criteria such as CPU load. Conventionally, real-time systems are paying attention on periodic task models, in which tasks are released at regular time periods. On the other hand, with maturity of multiprocessor structural design, today most real-ti...
