A DVFS-Weakly Dependent Energy-Efficient Scheduling Approach for Deadline-Constrained Parallel Applications on Heterogeneous Systems

Heterogeneous computing systems are being increasingly deployed on time-critical applications, where tasks need to meet execution deadlines and the energy consumption is to be minimized. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) has been widely applied for energy saving on computing devices. Unfortunately, DVFS may introduce transient errors and shorten the processor lifetime. There is also tim...
