Real-Time Scheduling Algorithms for Improved Mobile Device Energy Efficiency

In the era of real-time applications dominating mobile devices, balancing enhanced performance with prolonged battery life has become a significant challenge. This paper explores the complexities of real-time scheduling algorithms, focusing on Earliest Deadline First (EDF) and Rate Monotonic (RM) algorithms, and their impact on energy consumption. Additionally, variations of these algorithms are introduced in the context of Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS), a technique crucial for achieving optimal performance with improved battery efficiency. Through an in-depth analysis of various conditions, including task numbers and worst-case processor utilization, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of these algorithms, making them indispensable in scenarios where energy efficiency is paramount.
