Thermal aware task sequencing on embedded processors
Sushu Zhang, Karam S. Chatha · 2010
We seek to maximize the throughput of a periodic application by obtaining an optimized task sequence and dynamic voltage/freque--cy scaling schedules subject to a peak temperature constraint. We first derive an optimal initial temperature that can generate opti-mum solutions. We next present optimal solutions for several sub-problems. Finally, we propose novel algorithms for the general instances of the problem. Experimental results show that our tech-niques out perform existing approaches in both design quality and solution times.
