Energy-Efficient Scheduling for Real-Time Systems on Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) Platforms

Abstract

Energy-efficient designs have played import roles for hardware and software implementations for a decade. With the advanced technology of VLSI circuit designs, energy-efficiency can be achieved by adopting the dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) technique. In this paper, we survey the studies for energy-efficient scheduling in real-time systems on DVS platforms to cover both theoretical and practical issues.
