Abstract

Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS), which adjusts the clock speed and supply voltage dynamically, is an effective technique in reducing the energy consumption of embedded real-time systems. However, most existing DVS algorithms focus on reducing the energy consumption of CPU only, ignoring their negative impacts on task scheduling and system wide energy consumption. In this paper, we address one of such side effects, an increase in task preemptions due to DVS. We present energy-efficient Fixed-priority with preemption threshold (EE-FPPT) scheduling algorithm to solve this problem. First, we propose an appropriate schedulability analysis, based on response time analysis, for supporting energy-efficient FPPT scheduling in hard real-time systems. Second, we prove that a task set achieves the minimal energy consumptions under Maximal Preemption Threshold Assignment (MPTA).
