Abstract

The present study proposes subtask scheduling for lowering average power and preventing peak power violation in multi-core structure. The proposed algorithm is composed of the partitioning step that divides a task into subtasks using the moving average of power consumption and defines patterns through curve fitting, and the scheduling step that allocates the subtasks to cores and applies dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS). According to the results of experiment, the algorithm decreased the frequency of peak power by up to around 73% and average power consumption by up to around 18% compared to existing algorithms.
