Abstract

For real-time computer-controlled systems, controlperformances of tasks as well as energy consumption ofoverall system must be optimized. A control task does nothave a fixed period but a range of periods in whichcontrol performance varies. Hence when more than onecontrol tasks are scheduled on a single processor, anoptimization problem appears. Furthermore, when anenergy saving technique such as dynamic voltage scalingis used, its properties affect the control performance.Using a performance index that involves controlperformance and energy consumption, a static solution isproposed to obtain optimal processor speed and a set ofperiods for given control tasks in O(k). Also, a dynamicsolution is proposed to utilize system services of real-timeoperating systems to overcome unavoidable deficienciesof the static solution and to further reduce the energyconsumption of the overall system. The performances ofproposed solutions are revealed via simulation studies.
