Energy-Efficient Scheduling of Periodic Real-Time Tasks over Homogeneous Multiprocessors

Different from many previous energy-efficient scheduling studies, this paper explores energy-efficient multiprocessor scheduling of periodic real-time tasks with different power consumption functions. When the goal is on the minimization of energy consumption, we propose a 1.412approximation algorithm in the derivation of a feasible schedule. A series of simulation experiments was done for the performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm.
