For real time applications, time slacks of a preliminary task schedule may be exploited to conserve energy. This can be accomplished by leveraging the dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) technique to slow down clock frequency of certain cores so long as the deadline is met. In this Thesis, the task of fine-tuning an existing task assignment and schedule and using DVS to lower overall energy consumption is formulated as a graph-theoretic maximum weight clique (MWC) problem. An efficient heuristic algorithm is proposed to systematically solve this problem. A unique feature of our approach is concurrently applying DVS to slow down execution of multiple tasks to achieve better energy saving. Extensive simulations are performed to compare this proposed algorithm against leading energy-aware task scheduling algorithm and DVS algorithm. Our algorithm exhibits a 22% more energy saving than the EAS algorithm. As for energy saving in DVS process, our MWC-based method provides a 97% saving improvement over the PV-DVS algorithm.ABSTRACT iIST OF FIGURES vHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Scheduling Problem on NoC 1.2 Voltage Selection Technique 2.3 Contributions on this Thesis 2.4 Thesis Organization 3HAPTER 2 PRELIMINARIES 5.1 Basic Concept of NoC 5.2 Previous Work 7.2.1 EEGMA 9.2.2 CASPER 11.2.3 ETAHM 11.2.4 The algorithm Zhang et al. proposed 12.2.5 The algorithm Varatkar et al. proposed 13.2.6 EAS 14.3 Problem Description 16HAPTER 3 MOTIVATIONAL EXAMPLE 21HAPTER 4 PROPOSED ALGORITHMIC SOLUTION 25.1 Task Prioritization 26.2 Task Assignment 29.3 Power Optimization 32.4 Re-Scheduling Setup 36.5 Repair Process 37HAPTER 5 EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS 41HAPTER 6 CONCLUSION 47EFERENCE 491060309 bytesapplication/pdfen-US低耗能任務排程多核心動態調整電壓晶片網路架構low powertask schedulingmulti-coreDVSNoC[SDGs]SDG7thesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/189263/1/ntu-98-R96943115-1.pdf
