ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose a power-efficient scheduling scheme for lightly loaded multicore processors which contain more processing cores than running tasks. The proposed scheme activates a portion of available cores and inactivates the other unused cores in order to save power consumption. The tasks are assigned to the activated cores based on a heuristic mechanism for fast task assignment. Each activated core executes its assigned tasks with the optimal clock frequency which minimizes the power consumption of the tasks while meeting their deadlines. Evaluation shows that the proposed scheme saves up to 78% power consumption of the previous method which activates as many processing cores as possible for the execution of the given tasks.
