“…The advantages of the first contribution over common approaches such as RC thermal equivalent models [Skadron et al 2010] are that calibrations are obviated, greatly improving accuracy. Also, the state space variable representation provided by the TCPN allows the prediction of future states, and the process of analyzing the system and designing the controller is easier, thanks to the structural and dynamic properties of the TCPN model.…”

We present a thermal-aware, hard real-time (HRT) global scheduler for a multiprocessor system designed upon three novel techinques. First, we present a modeling methodology based on Timed Continuous Petri nets (TCPN) that yields a complete state variable model, including job arrivals, CPU usage, power, and thermal behavior. The model is accurate and avoids the calibration stage of RC thermal models. Second, based on this model, a linear programming problem (LPP) determines the existence of a feasible HRT thermal-aware schedule. Last, a sliding-mode controller and an online discretization algorithm implement the global HRT scheduler, which is capable of managing thermal constraints, context switching, migrations, and disturbances.
