We proposes a power-aware fixed-priority real-time scheduling algorithm for multimedia service, called static voltage scaling algorithm with multi-granularity resource reservation (STATIC-MULTIRSV). The multi-granularity resource reservation was introduced to deliver higher system utilization and better temporal isolation than the traditional approaches in [2]. Based on this, our STATIC-MULTIRSV is designed to reduce the power consumptions while guaranteeing that all I-frames of each video stream meet their deadlines. We implemented the proposed algorithm on top of ChronOS Real-time Linux [6]. We experimentally compared STATIC-MULTIRSV with other existing methods which showed that STATIC-MULTIRSV reduce power consumption by maximum 15% compared to its experimental counterparts.

We propose Energy-constrained Multiprocessor Real-Time Scheduling algorithms for (m,k)-firm deadline constrained tasks (EMRTS-MK). Rather than simply saving as much energy as possible, we consider energy as hard constraint under which the system remains functional and delivers an acceptable performance at least during the prescribed mission time. We evaluate EMRTS-MKs in several experiments, which quantitatively show that they achieve the scheduling objectives.
