A Task Scheduling Method for Embedded Multicore Systems

For the limited resources of the embedded multi-core processor, a task scheduling method based on software pipelining was proposed. The workload, communication overhead and storage resource of this method are modeled as an integer linear programming formulation, and by implementing load balance, reducing inter-core communication and optimizing the usage of storage on-chip to improve application performance. This method is experimented on the Revealer processor, and results show that this method improves program performance compared with other task scheduling method, and can be better adapted to the embedded multicore processor.
