Overview of Research Projects Jim Anderson Sanjoy Baruah Research Overview Jim Anderson 1

Flexible Fair Scheduling on Multiprocessors l Goal: To extend prior work on fair multiprocessor scheduling algorithms to » cope with dynamically-changing workloads, » correctly schedule non-periodic real-time (i. e. , rate-based) tasks, » include support for synchronization. l Funded by NSF. Research Overview Jim Anderson 2

Energy-aware Synthesis of Embedded Systems on Multiprocessor Platforms l Goal: To determine if multiprocessor designs can be more energy efficient than corresponding uniprocessor ones. » Main Idea: It can be more energy efficient to use m processors of 1/mth the speed. l Funded by NSF. Research Overview Jim Anderson 3

Real-time Fine-grained Adaptivity on Multiprocs: Acoustic Tracking as a Test Case l Goal: To support dynamically-changing task share allocations on multiprocessors. » Motivating Application: Acoustic Tracking. » The use of predictive techniques can result in task shares varying by two orders of magnitude. l Funded by NSF. Research Overview Jim Anderson 4

Planned Projects Adaptive resource allocation in network processors. l Open-systems platform for integrating real-time applications on multiprocessors. l Real-time scheduling algorithms for multi -core systems. l Research Overview Jim Anderson 5
