Overview The CPU scheduler can play a significant role to save energy in the system. Typically we talk about Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) when scehduling decisions can impact on the energy consumed by the CPUs. EAS relies on an Energy Model (EM) of the CPUs to select the most energy efficient CPU for each task, with a minimal impact on throughput. Effective energy-saving techniques can also be applied by maximizing the idle time of the CPUs. Modern CPUs’ power consumption is heavily influenced ...
