Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The multitask scheduling method for reducing total memory usage that compares the next step increments of the memory usage of each task and schedules the task which has the minimum increment is particularly useful in embedded softwares that are subject to memory capacity constraints. However, since the method needs information on future change behavior of heap memory usage in advance, it cannot be applied to the case where the usage situation changes in each execution. In this paper, we propose multitask scheduling method for reducing total memory usage by predicting behavior of heap memory allocations. The proposed method predicts the heap memory usage in the next step execution from the past heap memory usage status extracted by the execution history, and schedules using the obtained predicted value. The proposed method is evaluated by some simulation experiments that is performed on generated task set examples that contain random heap memory usage.
