대칭형 다중프로세서 (SMP: Symmetric Multiprocessors) 시스템은 고성능의 병렬 연산을 위한 중요하고 효과적인 기반환경을 제공하고 있다. SMP에서 태스크 클러스터링과 스케줄링 기법은 시스템의 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 버스 기반의 SMP에서 사용할 수 있는 태스크 중복 기반의 클러스터링과 스케줄링 기법을 소개한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 클러스터링 기법에서는 휴리스틱을 사용하여 중복할 태스크를 선택한 후 프로세서에 할당하고, 스케줄링 기법에서는 잠재하는 통신 충돌을 방지하기 위하여 네트워크 통신 자원을 사전에 할당한다. 새로운 클러스터링과 스케줄링 기법의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 시뮬레이션에서는 통신비용의 변화에 대한 병렬연산시간을 비교하였다.

The proposed scheme schedules given real-time tasks so that energy consumption of multicore processors would be minimized while meeting tasks' deadline and tolerating a permanent fault based on the primary-backup task model. Whereas the previous methods minimize the overlapped time of a primary task and its backup task, the proposed scheme maximizes the overlapped time so as to decrease the core speed as much as possible. It is analytically verified that the proposed scheme minimizes the energy consumption. Also, the proposed scheme saves up to 77% energy consumption of the previous method through experimental performance evaluation.

Distributed Memory Machine(DMM) is necessary for the effective computation of the data which is complicated and very large. Task scheduling is a method that reduces the communication time among tasks to reduce the total execution time of application program and is very important for the improvement of DMM. Task Duplicated based Scheduling(TDS) method improves execution time by reducing communication time of tasks. It uses clustering method which schedules tasks of the large communication time on the same processor. But there is a problem that cannot optimize communication time between task sending data and task receiving data. Hence, this paper proposes a new method which solves the above problem in TDS. Modified Task Duplicated based Scheduling(MTDS) method which can approximately optimize the communication time between task sending data and task receiving data by checking the optimal condition, resulted in the minimization of task execution time by reducing the communication time among tasks. Also system modeling shows that task execution time of MTDS is about 70% faster than that of TDS in the best case and the same as the result of TDS in the worst case. It proves that MTDS method is better than TDS method.

본 논문에서는 워크스테이션 네트웍(Network of Workstation) 환경에서 태스크 스케줄링 문제를 해결하기 위하여 태스크 중복을 기반으로 하는 휴리스틱 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 NoW에서 통신할 때 발생되는 충돌을 방지하기 위하여 네트웍 통신 자원을 우선 할당하고, 스케줄링 길이를 단축하고 병렬처리 시간을 줄이기 위한 중복 테스크를 선택할 때 휴리스틱을 사용한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 태스크 그래프를 입력으로 받아 NoW 환경의 워크스테이션으로 스케줄링하며, 태스크 그래프에서 노드수가 V일 때 최악의 경우 알고리즘의 시간 복잡도는 O($V^2$)이다. 제안한 알고리즘을 실제 응용 프로그램의 태스크 그래프에 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 알고리즈이 스케줄링 길이와 알고리즘에서 요구하는 워크스테이션의 수 관점에서 성능이 향상되었음을 보여준다.

We provide a checkpointing framework reflecting both the timeliness and the dependability in order to make checkpointing applicable to dependable real-time systems. The predictability of real-time tasks with checkpointing is guaranteed by the worst case execution time (WCET) based on the allocated number of checkpoints and the permissible number of failures. The permissible number of failures is derived from fault tolerance requirements, thus guaranteeing the dependability of tasks. Using the WCET and the permissible number of failures of tasks, we develop an algorithm that determines the minimum number of checkpoints allocated to each task in order to guarantee the schedulability of a task set. Since the framework is based on the amount of time redundancy caused by checkpointing, it can be extended to other time redundancy techniques.

In this paper, a task duplication based heuristic scheduling algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of task scheduling on Shared Memory Multiporcessors (SMM). The proposed algorithm pre-allocates network resources so as to avoid potential communication conlhct, and the algorithm uses heuristies to select duplication tasks so as to recuce of a multiprocessors, and generates scheduling accorting to the available number of processors ina system. The proposed algorithm has been applied to some practical task graphs in the simulation, and the results show that the proposed algorithm achieves considerable performance improvement, in respect of schedule length.

In this paper, we propose a new checkpointing strategy for dual modular redundancy real-time systems. For every checkpoints the execution results from two processors, and the result saved in the previous checkpoint are compared to detect faults. We devised an operation algorithm in chectpoints to recover from transient faults as well as permanent faults. We also develop a Markov model for the optimization of the proposed checkpointing strategy. The probability of successful task execution within its deadline is derived from the Markov model. The optimal number of checkpoints is the checkpoints which makes the successful probability maximum.

In this-paper, we propose a new task scheduling scheme for bus-based cluster architectures and analyze performance of the scheduling scheme which has been implemented in a PC cluster. The implemented scheme schedules the tasks of a task graph to the processors of a PC cluster, and it reduces parallel execution time by selectively duplicating critical tasks using heuristic. Experimental results show that the proposed scheduling scheme produces better parallel execution time than the other scheduling scheme.

Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMP) has emerged as an important and cost-effective platform for high performance parallel computing. Scheduling of parallel tasks and communications of SMP is important because the choice of a scheduling discipline can have a significant impact on the performance of the system. In this paper, we present a task duplication based scheduling scheme for bus-based SMP. The proposed scheme pre-allocates network communication resources so as to avoid potential communication conflicts. The performance of the proposed scheme has been observed by comparing the schedule length under various number of processors and the communication cost.
