First, the existence characteristics of the optimal supply voltage for a single task are proved, which suggests that the optimal supply voltage for the single task should be selected only within a one-dimensional term, and the corresponding task end time by the optimal supply voltage should be identical with its deadline. Then, it is pointed out that the minimum energy consumption that the DVS policy can obtain when completing a single task is certainly lower than that of the dynamic power management （DPM） policy or the combined DVS＋DPM policy under the same conditions. Finally, the theorem of energy consumption minimization for a multi-task group is proposed, which declares that it is necessary to keep the processor in the execution state during the whole task period to obtain the minimum energy consumption, while satisfying the deadline constraints of any task.展开更多

Many researchers work on DVS and have presented various DVS algorithms, some with quite good results. However, the previous algorithms either have a large time complexity or obtain results sensitive to the count of the voltage modes. Fine-grained voltage modes lead to optimal results, but coarse-grained voltage modes cause less optimal one. A new algorithm is presented, which is based on ant colony optimization, called ant colony optimization voltage and task scheduling (ACO-VTS) with a low time complexity implemented by parallelizing and its linear time approximation algorithm. Both of them generate quite good results, saving up to 30% more energy than that of the previous ones under coarse-grained modes, and their results don’t depend on the number of modes available.展开更多

When one of the inverters compensates for voltage sag that appears in its feeder （voltage control mode）, the other inverters pump the required power into the dc bus （power control mode）. Each inverter will have both voltage and power controllers; only one controller is in use during the abnormal conditions according to its feeder state. The voltage controller uses one of the dynamic voltage restoration techniques. In this paper, the in-phase technique is applied and two types of loads are considered （constant impedance and three phase induction motor）. Since the voltage restoration process may need real power injection into the distribution system, the power controller injects this power via voltage injection. This voltage injection is simulated by voltage drop across series virtual impedance. A new scheme is proposed to select the impedance value. The impedance value is selected such that the power consumed by this impedance represents the required power to be transferred without perturbing the load voltage. The performance of this system is also studied during voltage swell. A scheme for operation of multi-feeder IDVR system is proposed in this paper. Simulation results substantiate the proposed concept.展开更多

A constant dc-link voltage is usually assumed in existing literature to estimate transient stability of virtual synchronous generators (VSGs). However, actual power supply in the dc-side of VSGs is limited and different dc-link voltage controllers are needed to achieve power balance between DC side and AC side. Addition of dc-link voltage controller has great influence on transient behavior of VSGs, which has not been investigated by previous research. To fill this gap, this paper gives insights into the effect of dc-link voltage dynamics on transient stability of VSGs. First, two typical kinds of VSGs with dc-link voltage controllers are introduced. Then, mathematical models considering dc-link dynamics are established and the effect of dc-link voltage controllers on transient synchronization stability of VSGs is revealed through equal area criterion (EAC). It is found that dc-link voltage controller would reduce stability margin of VSGs and design-oriented transient stability analysis is carried out quantitively using critical clearing time (CCT). Finally, simulation results are given to validate correctness of theoretical analysis.展开更多

The Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling （DVFS） has been widely adopted by laptop computers, servers, and mobile devices to conserve energy, while the GPU DVFS is still at a certain early age. This paper aims at exploring the impact of GPU DVFS on the application performance and power consumption, and furthermore, on energy conservation. We survey the state-of-the-art GPU DVFS characterizations, and then summarize recent research works on GPU power and performance models. We also conduct real GPU DVFS experiments on NVIDIA Fermi and Maxwell GPUs. According to our experimental results, GPU DVFS has significant potential for energy saving. The effect of scaling core voltage/frequency and memory voltage/frequency depends on not only the GPLI architectures, but also the characteristic of GPU applications.展开更多

A battery-aware compound task scheduling （BACTS） algorithm considering various aspects including task deadline, current and execution time was proposed and evaluated with the previously prevailing earliest deadline first （EDF） algorithm. The results indicate the proposed BACTS algorithm manages to figure out a feasible schedule （if available） in battery-aware task scheduling even for disorganized connected task graphs beyond the solving ability of EDF. Its schedule achieves better performance with lower charge consumption after prescheduling, and also lower or equal optimum charge consumption after voltage scaling.展开更多

An OPS II-...Dynamic voltage scaling （DVS） is an efficient approach to maximize the battery life of portable devices. A novel overall planning strategy （OPS II） balancing slack supply and demand for DVS is proposed. An OPS II-based slack-nibbling overall planning strategy （SNOPS） algorithm is also proposed, which iteratively nibbles slacks for appropriate tasks selected by an overall planning dynamic priority function to perform DVS until the slack is exhausted and an optimum voltage setting is obtained. For a high-load task set, SNOPS manages to recover battery overload while maintaining schedulability. For random variable-load task sets, SNOPS achieves a saving of 29.51% battery capacity on average, the suboptimal gap is 27.84% narrower than that of our previously proposed OPS-based algorithm, and 92.10% narrower than that of the algorithm proposed by Chowdhury et al. Results indicate that OPS n manages to save battery to various extents while maintaining schedulability, and demonstrates good load compatibility and close-to-optimal performance on average.展开更多

For this purpose, the governing equation of motion and the boundary conditions are driven using a variational approach. This formulation includes the influences of fringing field and intermolecular forces such as Casimir and van der Waals forces. The differential quadrature （DQ） method is employed as a high-order approximation to discretize the governing nonlinear differential equation, yielding more accurate results with a Considerably smaller number of grid points. In addition, a powerful analytical method called parameter expansion method （PEM） is utilized to compute the dynamic solution and frequency-amplitude relationship. It is illustrated that the first two terms in series expansions are sufficient to produce an acceptable solution of the mentioned structure. Finally, the effects of basic parameters on static and dynamic pull-in insta- bility and natural frequency are studied.展开更多

A constant dc-link voltage is usually assumed in existing literature to estimate transient stability of virtual synchronous generators (VSGs). However, actual power supply in the dc-side of VSGs is limited and different dc-link voltage controllers are needed to achieve power balance between DC side and AC side. Addition of dc-link voltage controller has great influence on transient behavior of VSGs, which has not been investigated by previous research. To fill this gap, this paper gives insights into the effect of dc-link voltage dynamics on transient stability of VSGs. First, two typical kinds of VSGs with dc-link voltage controllers are introduced. Then, mathematical models considering dc-link dynamics are established and the effect of dc-link voltage controllers on transient synchronization stability of VSGs is revealed through equal area criterion (EAC). It is found that dc-link voltage controller would reduce stability margin of VSGs and design-oriented transient stability analysis is carried out quantitively using critical clearing time (CCT). Finally, simulation results are given to validate correctness of theoretical analysis.
文摘This paper presents a method to reduce the energy consumption of multi-core systems characterized by processor cores and buses with discrete frequency levels under timing constraints.The proposed method takes the transformations of the original task graphs,which include dependent tasks located in different iterations,as inputs.The proposed method utilizes mapping selection as well as joint processor and communication frequency scaling to implement energy reduction.We conduct experiments on several random task graphs.Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve substantial energy reduction compared with previous work under the same hard timing constraints.
文摘Energy consumption has become a key metric for evaluating how good an embedded system is,alongside more performance metrics like respecting operation deadlines and speed of execution.Schedulability improvement is no longer the only metric by which optimality is judged.In fact,energy efficiency is becoming a preferred choice with a fundamental objective to optimize the system's lifetime.In this work,we propose an optimal energy efficient scheduling algorithm for aperiodic real-time jobs to reduce CPU energy consumption.Specifically,we apply the concept of real-time process scheduling to a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling(DVFS)technique.We address a variant of earliest deadline first(EDF)scheduling algorithm called energy saving-dynamic voltage and frequency scaling(ES-DVFS)algorithm that is suited to unpredictable future energy production and irregular job arrivals.We prove that ES-DVFS cannot attain a total value greater than C/ˆSα,whereˆS is the minimum speed of any job and C is the available energy capacity.We also investigate the implications of having in advance,information about the largest job size and the minimum speed used for the competitive factor of ES-DVFS.We show that such advance knowledge makes possible the design of semi-on-line algorithm,ES-DVFS∗∗,that achieved a constant competitive factor of 0.5 which is proved as an optimal competitive factor.The experimental study demonstrates that substantial energy savings and highest percentage of feasible job sets can be obtained through our solution that combines EDF and DVFS optimally under the given aperiodic jobs and energy models.
文摘Energy efficiency has become one of the top design criteria for current computing systems. The Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling （DVFS） has been widely adopted by laptop computers, servers, and mobile devices to conserve energy, while the GPU DVFS is still at a certain early age. This paper aims at exploring the impact of GPU DVFS on the application performance and power consumption, and furthermore, on energy conservation. We survey the state-of-the-art GPU DVFS characterizations, and then summarize recent research works on GPU power and performance models. We also conduct real GPU DVFS experiments on NVIDIA Fermi and Maxwell GPUs. According to our experimental results, GPU DVFS has significant potential for energy saving. The effect of scaling core voltage/frequency and memory voltage/frequency depends on not only the GPLI architectures, but also the characteristic of GPU applications.
文摘Recently,Multicore systems use Dynamic Voltage/Frequency Scaling(DV/FS)technology to allow the cores to operate with various voltage and/or frequencies than other cores to save power and enhance the performance.In this paper,an effective and reliable hybridmodel to reduce the energy and makespan in multicore systems is proposed.The proposed hybrid model enhances and integrates the greedy approach with dynamic programming to achieve optimal Voltage/Frequency(Vmin/F)levels.Then,the allocation process is applied based on the availableworkloads.The hybrid model consists of three stages.The first stage gets the optimum safe voltage while the second stage sets the level of energy efficiency,and finally,the third is the allocation stage.Experimental results on various benchmarks show that the proposed model can generate optimal solutions to save energy while minimizing the makespan penalty.Comparisons with other competitive algorithms show that the proposed model provides on average 48%improvements in energy-saving and achieves an 18%reduction in computation time while ensuring a high degree of system reliability.

文摘To minimize battery consumption for portable devices, the prescheduling policy of battery-aware scheduling was improved by optimizing slack distribution. A battery-aware compound task scheduling （BACTS） algorithm considering various aspects including task deadline, current and execution time was proposed and evaluated with the previously prevailing earliest deadline first （EDF） algorithm. The results indicate the proposed BACTS algorithm manages to figure out a feasible schedule （if available） in battery-aware task scheduling even for disorganized connected task graphs beyond the solving ability of EDF. Its schedule achieves better performance with lower charge consumption after prescheduling, and also lower or equal optimum charge consumption after voltage scaling.

文摘Dynamic voltage scaling （DVS） is an efficient approach to maximize the battery life of portable devices. A novel overall planning strategy （OPS II） balancing slack supply and demand for DVS is proposed. An OPS II-based slack-nibbling overall planning strategy （SNOPS） algorithm is also proposed, which iteratively nibbles slacks for appropriate tasks selected by an overall planning dynamic priority function to perform DVS until the slack is exhausted and an optimum voltage setting is obtained. For a high-load task set, SNOPS manages to recover battery overload while maintaining schedulability. For random variable-load task sets, SNOPS achieves a saving of 29.51% battery capacity on average, the suboptimal gap is 27.84% narrower than that of our previously proposed OPS-based algorithm, and 92.10% narrower than that of the algorithm proposed by Chowdhury et al. Results indicate that OPS n manages to save battery to various extents while maintaining schedulability, and demonstrates good load compatibility and close-to-optimal performance on average.

文摘Task offloading is an important concept for edge computing and the Internet of Things(IoT)because computationintensive tasksmust beoffloaded tomore resource-powerful remote devices.Taskoffloading has several advantages,including increased battery life,lower latency,and better application performance.A task offloading method determines whether sections of the full application should be run locally or offloaded for execution remotely.The offloading choice problem is influenced by several factors,including application properties,network conditions,hardware features,and mobility,influencing the offloading system’s operational environment.This study provides a thorough examination of current task offloading and resource allocation in edge computing,covering offloading strategies,algorithms,and factors that influence offloading.Full offloading and partial offloading strategies are the two types of offloading strategies.The algorithms for task offloading and resource allocation are then categorized into two parts:machine learning algorithms and non-machine learning algorithms.We examine and elaborate on algorithms like Supervised Learning,Unsupervised Learning,and Reinforcement Learning(RL)under machine learning.Under the non-machine learning algorithm,we elaborate on algorithms like non(convex)optimization,Lyapunov optimization,Game theory,Heuristic Algorithm,Dynamic Voltage Scaling,Gibbs Sampling,and Generalized Benders Decomposition(GBD).Finally,we highlight and discuss some research challenges and issues in edge computing.
文摘This paper provides the static and dynamic pullin behavior of nano-beams resting on the elastic foundation based on the nonlocal theory which is able to capture the size effects for structures in micron and sub-micron scales. For this purpose, the governing equation of motion and the boundary conditions are driven using a variational approach. This formulation includes the influences of fringing field and intermolecular forces such as Casimir and van der Waals forces. The differential quadrature （DQ） method is employed as a high-order approximation to discretize the governing nonlinear differential equation, yielding more accurate results with a Considerably smaller number of grid points. In addition, a powerful analytical method called parameter expansion method （PEM） is utilized to compute the dynamic solution and frequency-amplitude relationship. It is illustrated that the first two terms in series expansions are sufficient to produce an acceptable solution of the mentioned structure. Finally, the effects of basic parameters on static and dynamic pull-in insta- bility and natural frequency are studied.
