Improved Static Multiprocessor Scheduling using Cyclic Task Graphs: A Genetic Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genetic algorithms have successfully been applied to multiprocessor task graph scheduling. In these previous attempts the schedules are constructed from directed acyclic task graphs. However, recurrent applications such as real-time control and digital signal processing can be expressed as directed cyclic task graphs. This paper presents a method for transforming a cyclic task graph into several alternate acyclic task graphs, The beneets of this are demonstrated through an example where the task graphs become easier to schedule through restructuring. Thus, the new task graphs result in better load balancing and less inter-processor traac than the \standard" acyclic task graphs. A genetic algorithm has been used to search for the task graph and schedule that best t a particular application and hardware connguration. The results are encouraging.

An Efficient Genetic Algorithm for Task Scheduling on Heterogeneous Computing Systems Based on TRIZ
An efficient assignment and scheduling of tasks is one of the key elements in effective utilization of heterogeneous multiprocessor systems. The task scheduling problem has been proven to be NP-hard is the reason why we used meta-heuristic methods for finding a suboptimal schedule. In this paper we proposed a new approach using TRIZ (specially 40 inventive principles). The basic idea of thi...

متن کاملA new strategy for multiprocessor scheduling of cyclic task graphs
A modular strategy for scheduling iterative computations is proposed. Iterative computations are represented using cyclic task graphs that are transformed into acyclic task graphs. These acyclic task graphs are subsequently scheduled using one of the many well known and high quality static scheduling strategies from the literature. Graph unfolding is not employed and the generated schedules the...
متن کاملPre-scheduling and Scheduling of Task Graph on Homogeneous Multiprocessor Systems
Task graph scheduling is a multi-objective optimization and NP-hard problem. In this paper a new algorithm on homogeneous multiprocessors systems is proposed. Basically, scheduling algorithms are targeted to balance the two parameters of time and energy consumption. These two parameters are up to a certain limit in contrast with each other and improvement of one causes reduction in the othe...
