Precise Scheduling of DAG Tasks with Dynamic Power Management

Authors: Ashikahmed Bhuiyan, Mohammad Pivezhandi, Zhishan Guo, Jing Li, Venkata Prashant Modekurthy, and Abusayeed Saifullah

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 262, 35th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2023)

Abstract
The rigid timing requirement of real-time applications biases the analysis to focus on the worst-case performances. Such a focus cannot provide enough information to optimize the system’s typical resource and energy consumption. In this work, we study the real-time scheduling of parallel tasks on a multi-speed heterogeneous platform while minimizing their typical-case CPU energy consumption. Dynamic power management (DPM) policy is integrated to determine the minimum number of cores required for each task while guaranteeing worst-case execution requirements (under all circumstances). A Hungarian Algorithm-based task partitioning technique is proposed for clustered multi-core platforms, where all cores within the same cluster run at the same speed at any time, while different clusters may run at different speeds. To our knowledge, this is the first work aiming to minimize typical-case CPU energy consumption (while ensuring the worst-case timing correctness for all tasks under any execution condition) through DPM for parallel tasks in a clustered platform. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach with existing power management techniques using experimental results and simulations. The experimental results conducted on the Intel Xeon 2680 v3 12-core platform show around 7%-30% additional energy savings.

CPU Energy-Aware Parallel Real-Time Scheduling

Authors: Abusayeed Saifullah, Sezana Fahmida, Venkata P. Modekurthy, Nathan Fisher, and Zhishan Guo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 165, 32nd Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2020)

Abstract
Both energy-efficiency and real-time performance are critical requirements in many embedded systems applications such as self-driving car, robotic system, disaster response, and security/safety control. These systems entail a myriad of real-time tasks, where each task itself is a parallel task that can utilize multiple computing units at the same time. Driven by the increasing demand for parallel tasks, multi-core embedded processors are inevitably evolving to many-core. Existing work on real-time parallel tasks mostly focused on real-time scheduling without addressing energy consumption. In this paper, we address hard real-time scheduling of parallel tasks while minimizing their CPU energy consumption on multicore embedded systems. Each task is represented as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with nodes indicating different threads of execution and edges indicating their dependencies. Our technique is to determine the execution speeds of the nodes of the DAGs to minimize the overall energy consumption while meeting all task deadlines. It incorporates a frequency optimization engine and the dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) scheme into the classical real-time scheduling policies (both federated and global) and makes them energy-aware. The contributions of this paper thus include the first energy-aware online federated scheduling and also the first energy-aware global scheduling of DAGs. Evaluation using synthetic workload through simulation shows that our energy-aware real-time scheduling policies can achieve up to 68% energy-saving compared to classical (energy-unaware) policies. We have also performed a proof of concept system evaluation using physical hardware demonstrating the energy efficiency through our proposed approach.

Energy-Efficient Multi-Core Scheduling for Real-Time DAG Tasks

Authors: Zhishan Guo, Ashikahmed Bhuiyan, Abusayeed Saifullah, Nan Guan, and Haoyi Xiong

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 76, 29th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2017)

Abstract
In this work, we study energy-aware real-time scheduling of a set of sporadic Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) tasks with implicit deadlines. While meeting all real-time constraints, we try to identify the best task allocation and execution pattern such that the average power consumption of the whole platform is minimized. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that addresses the power consumption issue in scheduling multiple DAG tasks on multi-cores and allows intra-task processor sharing. We first adapt the decomposition-based framework for federated scheduling and propose an energy-sub-optimal scheduler. Then we derive an approximation algorithm to identify processors to be merged together for further improvements in energy-efficiency and to prove the bound of the approximation ratio. We perform a simulation study to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed scheduling. The simulation results show that our algorithms achieve an energy saving of 27% to 41% compared to existing DAG task schedulers.

Mixed-Criticality Scheduling to Minimize Makespan

Authors: Sanjoy Baruah, Arvind Easwaran, and Zhishan Guo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 65, 36th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2016)

Abstract
In the mixed-criticality job model, each job is characterized by two execution time parameters, representing a smaller (less conservative) estimate and a larger (more conservative) estimate on its actual, unknown, execution time. Each job is further classified as being either less critical or more critical. The desired execution semantics are that all jobs should execute correctly provided all jobs complete upon being allowed to execute for up to the smaller of their execution time estimates, whereas if some jobs need to execute beyond their smaller execution time estimates (but not beyond their larger execution time estimates), then only the jobs classified as being more critical are required to execute correctly. The scheduling of collections of such mixed-criticality jobs upon identical multiprocessor platforms in order to minimize the makespan is considered here.

Implementing Mixed-criticality Systems Upon a Preemptive Varying-speed Processor

Authors: Zhishan Guo and Sanjoy K. Baruah

Published in: LITES, Volume 1, Issue 2 (2014). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 1, Issue 2

Abstract
A mixed criticality (MC) workload consists of components of varying degrees of importance (or "criticalities"); the more critical components typically need to have their correctness validated to greater levels of assurance than the less critical ones. The problem of executing such a MC workload upon a preemptive processor whose effective speed may vary during run-time, in a manner that is not completely known prior to run-time, is considered.Such a processor is modeled as being characterized by several execution speeds: a normal speed and several levels of degraded speed. Under normal circumstances it will execute at or above its normal speed; conditions during run-time may cause it to execute slower. It is desired that all components of the MC workload execute correctly under normal circumstances. If the processor speed degrades, it should nevertheless remain the case that the more critical components execute correctly (although the less critical ones need not do so).In this work, we derive an optimal algorithm for scheduling MC workloads upon such platforms; achieving optimality does not require that the processor be able to monitor its own run-time speed. For the sub-case of the general problem where there are only two criticality levels defined, we additionally provide an implementation that is asymptotically optimal in terms of run-time efficiency.
