Abstract

We address power minimization of earliest deadline first and ratemonotonic schedules by voltage and frequency scaling. We prove that the problems are NP-hard, and present (1+ε) fully polynomial time approximation techniques that generate solutions which are guaranteed to be within a specified quality bound (QB=ε) (say within 1% of the optimal). We demonstrate that our techniques can match optimal solutions when QB is set at 1%, out perform existing approaches [1] even when QB is set at 10%, generate solutions that are quite close to optimal (≤ 5%) even when QB is set at higher values (25%), and execute in a fraction of a second (with QB ≥ 5%) for large 100 node task sets.
