Workload-Ahead-Driven Online Energy Minimization Techniques for Battery-Powered Embedded Systems with Time-Constraints
This paper proposes a new online voltage scaling (VS) technique for battery-powered embedded systems with real-time constraints. The VS technique takes into account the tasks execution times and discharge currents to further reduce the battery charge consumption when compared to the recently reported slack forwarding technique, whilst maintaining low online complexity of O(1). Furthermore, we investigate the impact of online rescheduling and remapping on the battery charge consumption for tasks with data dependency which has not been explicitly addressed in the literature and propose a novel rescheduling/remapping technique. We demonstrate and compare the efficiency of the presented techniques using seven real-life benchmarks and numerous automatically generated examples.

Abstract

This paper proposes a new online voltage scaling (VS) technique for battery-powered embedded systems with real-time constraints. The VS technique takes into account the tasks execution times and discharge currents to further reduce the battery charge consumption when compared to the recently reported slack forwarding technique, whilst maintaining low online complexity of O(1). Furthermore, we investigate the impact of online rescheduling and remapping on the battery charge consumption for tasks with data dependency which has not been explicitly addressed in the literature and propose a novel rescheduling/remapping technique. We demonstrate and compare the efficiency of the presented techniques using seven real-life benchmarks and numerous automatically generated examples.
