Abstract

This paper presents a novel graph representation that captures the transition overhead due to runtime configuration of underlying hardware in reconfigurable embedded systems resulting from various configuration schemes such as FPGA-like reconfiguration or dynamic voltage/frequency scaling (DVFS). We propose an intuitive heuristic to solve combined configuration selection and task scheduling problem on this graph. In addition, when applied to DVFS, our algorithm provides simultaneous task ordering and configuration selection of the system which outperforms the state-of-the-art DVFS methods applied after task ordering.
