Recent multi-core processors for smart devices use per-core dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) that enables independent voltage and frequency control of cores. However, because the conventional task scheduler was originally designed for per-core DVFS disabled processors, it cannot effectively utilize the per-core DVFS and simply allocates tasks evenly across all cores to core utilization with the same CPU frequency. Hence, we propose a novel task scheduler to effectively utilize percore DVFS, which enables each core to have the appropriate frequency, thereby improving performance and decreasing energy consumption. The proposed scheduler classifies applications into two types, based on performance-sensitivity and allows a performance-sensitive application to have a dedicated core, which maximizes core utilization. The experimental evaluations with a real off-the-shelf smart device showed that the proposed task scheduler reduced 13.6% of CPU energy (up to 28.3%) and 3.4% of execution time (up to 24.5%) on average, as compared to the conventional task scheduler.

A virtual machine lease service in the cloud computing environment has been implemented using the open source cloud computing platform, OpenNebula. In addition, a web-based cloud user interface is developed for both convenient resource management and efficient service access. The present virtual machine allocation scheme adopted in OpenNebula has performance reduction problem because of not considering CPU allocation scheduler of the virtualization software. In order to address this problem we have considered both the priority of the idle CPU resources of the cluster and credit scheduler of Xen, which resulted in performance improvement of the OpenNebula virtual machine scheduler. The experimental results showed that the proposed allocation scheme provided more virtual machine creations and more CPU resource allocations for cloud service.

본 논문에서는 범용 워크스테이션 환경하에서 수행되는 멀티미디어 응용프로그램(application)을 지원하기 위한 비례지분 방식의 CPU 스케줄러를 제시한다. 이러한 목적을 위하여 일반적 태스크의 지원을 위해 설계된 스트라이드 스케줄러를 확장한다. 멀티미디어 응용프로그램의 시간 요구사항을 명시하기 위하여 새로운 스케줄링 파라미터들을 도입한다. 비율조정기를 도입한 결과 스케줄링의 정확도의 오차는 O(1)로 감소하였다. 별도의 태스크 그룹을 설정하여 상대적 지분과 절대적 지분을 부여했다. 모의실험을 사용하여 스케줄러의 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 제안된 스케줄러는 증가된 정확도와 적응성 및 유연성을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. Abstract This paper presents a proportional-share CPU scheduler which can support multimedia applications in a general-purpose workstation environment. For this purpose, we have extended the stride scheduler which is designed originally for conventional tasks. New scheduling parameters are introduced to specify timing requirements of multimedia applications. Through the use of the rate regulator, the accuracy error of the scheduling is reduced to O(1). Separate task groups are proposed to represent both relative shares and absolute shares. The proposed scheduler is evaluated using a simulation study. The results show that the proposed scheduler achieves improved accuracy and adaptability as well as flexibility.

Recently, most of the embedded system is required not only many functions but also real-time characteristics in purpose. In the hard real-time system, especially, strict deadline of periodic task can affect the performance of the system. In this paper, we design and implement the scheduler based on RM(Rate-Monotonic) rule. This scheduler makes feasible patterns based on EDF(Earliest deadline first) rule with extended schedulability inspection before execution, for periodic task-set that has high CPU utilization and then, execute periodic task-set depended on feasible patterns. The feasible pattern formed into EDF rule is capable of the efficiency of CPU up to 100 percentage and by the referenced execution of the feasible pattern is possible of removing the red-time scheduling overhead that is the defect of the order of dynamic assignment rule.

분간 병렬 시스템에서 사용되는 배치 작업 스케줄링 기법으로 잘 알리진 것은 Gang Scheduling과 Backfilling Scheduler가 있다. 특히 IBM SP 시스템에서 주로 사용되는 작업 스케줄러인 LoadLeveler 최신 버전에서는 이전 버전에서도 지원하였던 Backfilling Scheduler 뿐만 아니라 Gang Scheduling 기법을 새롭게 지원하게 되었다. 이에 따라 KISTI 슈퍼컴퓨팅센터에서는 슈퍼컴퓨터 3호기로 신규 도입된 IBM p690 시스템에서 LoadLeveler의 Gang Scheduling 혹은 Backfilling Scheduler 중의 한 가지 기법을 선택하여 서비스 레벨 클래스를 구현하고자 하였다. 이러한 노력의 일환으로 두 가지 스케줄링 기법을 테스트 및 분석하였다. 이에 따르면 Gang Scheduler가 개념상 여러 가지 장점을 가지므로 Backfilling Scheduler에 비하여 서비스 레벨 클래스 구성에는 용이하지만, 불완전한 구현 및 특히 CPU Utilization이 저하되는 심각한 문제점을 가지고 있었다. 따라서 Backfilling Scheduler를 통한 제한적인 서비스 레벨 클래스를 구성하기로 결론지었다.

A proportional share scheduler allocates CPU time to tasks and determines which task will be dispatched according to their priorities. In this paper, we investigate the correlation between the characteristics of applications and task priorities in the Linux Completely Fair Scheduler(CFS), which is one of the representative proportional share schedulers. We also propose a method of controlling the granularity of priority assignments according to the characteristics of applications. We implemented the proposed technique in a Linux system and confirmed the meaningful experimental results.

Linux is a general-purpose operating system that supports several schedulers, allowing different schedulers to coexist. In addition, Linux uses the Control Group (cgroup) to reserve CPU resources for task groups that follow the real-time (SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR) and non-real-time (SCHED_NORMAL) scheduler policies, except for the deadline scheduler (SCHED_DEADLINE). The cgroup performs the schedulability analysis to guarantee the reserved CPU resource as much as possible. However, current implementation of the schedulability analysis does not distinguish between deadline tasks and real-time tasks. Therefore, if these deadline tasks and real-time task groups coexist, there is a case where the resource reservation for the real-time task group is rejected. In this paper, we analyze the problems in the schedulability analysis for real-time task groups of Linux cgroups and propose patches to solve these problems.

Virtualization allows multiple commodity operating systems to share on a single physical machine. Resource allocation among virtual machines is a key to determine virtual machine performance. To satisfy time-sensitive task on a domain, hypervisor needs to observe the resource requirements and allocates proper amount of CPU resources in a timely manner. In this paper, we propose a realtime credit scheduler for latency sensitive application on virtual machines. The key idea is to register a time event in the Xen hypervisor. Experiment result shows that the proposed scheme is superior to Credit scheduler.

We have developed a scheduler that additionally consider network performance by extending the Kubernetes developed to manage lots of containers in cloud computing nodes. The network delay adapt characteristics of the compute nodes were learned during server operation and the learned results were utilized to develop placement algorithm by considering the existing measurement units, CPU, memory, and volume together, and it was confirmed that the low delay network service was provided through placement algorithm.
