Abstract

A dynamic energy performance scaling (DEPS) framework is proposed to save energy in fixed-priority hard real-time embedded systems. In this generalized framework, two existing technologies, i.e., dynamic hardware resource configuration (DHRC) and dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS) can be combined for energy performance tradeoff. The problem of selecting the optimal hardware configuration and voltage/frequency parameters is formulated to achieve maximal energy savings and meet the deadline constraint simultaneously. Through a case study, the effectiveness of DEPS has been validated.
