Reducing Dynamic Power Consumption in Mixed-Critical Real-Time Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we study energy minimization consumption of a mixed criticality real-time system on uni-core. Our focus is on a new scheduling scheme to decrease the frequency level in order to conserve power. Since many systems are equipped with dynamic power and frequency level memory, power can be saved by decreasing the system frequency. In this paper, we provide new dynamic energy minimization consumption in mixed-criticality real-time systems. Recent research has been done on low-criticality mode for power reduction. Thus, the proposed scheme can reduce the energy both in high-criticality and low-criticality modes. The effectiveness of our proposed scheme in energy reduction is clearly shown through simulations results.
