Multi-Core Processor Scheduling with Respect to Data Bus Bandwidth
share
The paper considers the problem of scheduling software modules on a multi-core processor, taking into account the limited bandwidth of the data bus and the precedence constraints. Two problem formulations with different levels of problem-specific detail are suggested and both shown to be NP-hard. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is proposed for the first problem formulation, and a greedy algorithm is developed for the second one. An experimental comparison of the results of the greedy algorithm and the MILP solutions found by CPLEX solver is carried out.
