Abstract:Fault tolerant scheduling has been a subject of great concern recently, considering heterogeneous multiprocessor systems that may contain low reliability processors in their systems. Task replication is an established technique to achieve fault tolerance; however it has a negative influence on schedule length. Moreover increasing system reliability always has a negative impact on schedule length. In this paper we devised a new method for optimizing schedule length and maximizing system reliability simultaneous… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
