Abstract

The problem of energy-aware real-time task synchronization in multi-core systems is complicated by difficulties resulting from the trade-off between run-time blocking management and energy conservation. This paper proposes the Triple Speed concept to render energy-aware to existing multi-core real-time synchronization protocols and better manage energy consumption from run-time blocking effects. Algorithms are presented to assign required core frequencies to minimize energy consumption and meet timing constraints by accounting for schedulability tests. A series of extensive simulations are performed to evaluate the proposed methodology.
