Abstract(in English) Embedded real-time systems requires power consumption while satisfying real-time performance. RT-DVFS and real-time scheduling methods are applied respectively to guarantee performance. Responsive Multithreaded Processor (RMTP) is a Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processor for embedded real-time systems. It implements an IPC control mechanism that controls the execution speed of threads. By using the IPC control mechanism, Fluid schedule, which is an optimal scheduling algorithm, can be achieved with a very small overhead. By combining Fluid Schedule with the IPC control mechanism and RT-DVFS, it is possible to reduce power consumption while guaranteeing real-time performance. However, IPC control mechanism cannot extract Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) insufficiently, and resource utilization becomes poor. In this study, we propose a method for effectively extracting TLP to improve resource utilization during IPC control. It enables to operate the system at a lower frequency during RT-DVFS. As a result of evaluation by simulation, it was confirmed that the proposed method improves resource utilization and enables efficient reduction of power consumption.
