Abstract(in English) On a clock-driven system with multiple processors, we consider the model that the set of processors is clustered into blocks and timing of clock-supply is controlled at block level. By the assumption that the power is mainly consumed by processors when they are supplied with clocks, we formulate a job scheduling problem to make the power consumption of the system small. We propose an easily implementable heuristic algorithm BF-ASAP(Best-Fit/As Soon As Possible)which optimizes each job sequentially in each block. We show about 30% power reduction on randomly generated instances in which 100 processors are clustered into 10 blocks, to show the method being promising.
