Abstract(in English) Recently, single instruction set heterogeneous multi-core architecture have focused attention for use in embedded systems. In order to reduce energy consumption on this architecture, while guaranteeing the deadline constraints of embedded real-time systems, appropriate task scheduling, including task allocation, dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS) and selecting active cores, is necessary. In this paper, we propose a task migration method for real-time systems on single instruction set heterogeneous multi-core architecture. In the proposed method, DVFS algorithms for real-times systems are utilized for deciding whether tasks should be eventually migrated or not. The task migration method performs load balancing between cores and preferential use of energy efficient cores simultaneously, which leads to the reduction of energy consumption. We evaluated the amount of energy savings of the proposed method by simulating a task scheduling process. The results show that our method can save about 10.4% energy consumption in the best case compared to the existing DVFS method.
