Energy-Aware Fault-Tolerant Scheduling For Hard Real-Time Systems, Qiushi Han

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Over the past several decades, we have experienced tremendous growth of real-time systems in both scale and complexity. This progress is made possible largely due to advancements in semiconductor technology that have enabled the continuous scaling and massive integration of transistors on a single chip. In the meantime, however, the relentless transistor scaling and integration have dramatically increased the power consumption and degraded the system reliability substantially. Traditional real-time scheduling techniques with the sole emphasis on guaranteeing timing constraints have become insufficient.

In this research, we studied the problem of how to develop advanced scheduling methods on hard real-time systems …
