An off-line stage computes the minimum frequency required to run the periodic tasks at maximum CPU utilization, the proportion of each task''s job to be run on each CPU, the maximum clock frequency that keeps temperature under a limit, and the available cycles (slack) with respect to the system with minimum frequency. Then, a Zero-Laxity online scheduler dispatches the periodic tasks according to the offline calculation. Upon the arrival of aperiodic tasks, it increases clock frequency in such a way that all periodic and aperiodic tasks are properly executed. Thermal and temporal requirements are always guaranteed, and energy consumption is minimized.2018http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/7973110.1016/j.ifacol.2018.06.307http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/79731oai:zaguan.unizar.es:79731info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T48info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/687698/EU/High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation/HiPEACThis project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 687698-HiPEACinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/TIN2016-76635-C2-1-RIFAC PAPERSONLINE 51, 7 (2018), 236-242All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
