In this paper, we study the problem of reducing the energy consumption for hard real-time systems scheduled according to either fixed-priority (FP) or earliest-deadline-first (EDF) scheme. To balance the static and dynamic energy consumptions, the concept of critical speed was proposed in previous research. Moreover, when combined with the processor idle/shutdown state, the critical speed was widely used as the lower bound for voltage scaling in literature. In this paper, we show that this strategy might not always be more energy efficient than the traditional DVS strategy and there exists a dynamic tradeoff between these two strategies depending on the job’s work-demand to be finished within certain intervals. To effectively address this issue, we propose a unified approach that combines these two strategies to achieve better overall energy saving performance. Our approach determines the energy-efficient speeds for real-time jobs in their corresponding feasible intervals based on the threshold work-demand analysis. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed techniques significantly outperform previous approaches in the overall energy saving performance.

Real-time systems are becoming ever more widely used in life-critical applications, and the need for fault-tolerant scheduling can only grow in the years ahead. This article presents a novel fault tolerance approach for tolerating transient faults in hard real-time systems. The proposed approach combines both checkpointing with rollback and active replication to tolerate several transient faults. Based on this approach, a new static fault-tolerant scheduling algorithm SFTS is presented. It is based on a list of scheduling heuristics which satisfy the application time constraints even in the presence of faults by exploring the spare capacity of available processors in the architecture. Simulation results show the performance and effectiveness of the proposed approach compared to other fault-tolerant approaches. The results reveal that in the presence of multiple transient faults, the average timing overhead of this approach is lower than checkpointing technique. Moreover, the proposed algorithm SFTS achieves better feasibility rate in the presence of multiple transient faults.
