Energy-Saving Task Scheduling Based on Hard Reliability Requirements: A Novel Approach with Low Energy Consumption and High Reliability

Abstract

With the increasing complexity of application situations in multi-core processing systems, how to assure task execution reliability has become a focus of scheduling algorithm research in recent years. Most fault-tolerant algorithms achieve hard reliability requirements through task redundancy, which increases energy consumption and contradicts the concept of sustainable development. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm called HDFE (Heterogeneous-Dag-task-fault-tolerance-energy-efficiency algorithm) that combines DVFS technology and task replication technology to solve the scheduling problem of DAG applications concerning energy-saving and hard reliability requirements in heterogeneous multi-core processor systems. Our algorithm is divided into three phases: the priority calculation phase, the task replication phase, and the task assignment phase. The HDFE algorithm achieved energy savings while meeting hard reliability requirements for applications, which was based on the interrelationship between reliability and energy consumption in filtering task replicas. In the experimental part of this paper, we designed four comparison experiments between the EFSRG algorithm, the HRRM algorithm, and the HDFE algorithm. The experimental results showed that the energy consumption of task scheduling using the HDFE algorithm is lower than other algorithms under different scales, thus achieving energy savings and complying with the concept of sustainable development.

Fault Diagnosis in Hydroelectric Units in Small-Sample State Based on Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network

“…By carrying out fault diagnosis research, unit faults can be found in time to ensure the unit's safe operation and prolong the unit's service life. In addition, fault diagnosis research can also improve the reliability and efficiency of unit operations and reduce the maintenance costs and energy consumption, which is also significant for the sustainable development and utilization of hydropower energy [2,3].…”
