隨著電池供電的嵌入式裝置日益增加，能耗感知的即時排程演算法逐漸受到重視。然而，多數的研究著重於分區即時多核心排程演算法的能耗管理。本篇論文針對同質多核心系統常用的全域性排程演算法，提出能耗感知的資源共享協定，以解決同質多核心嵌入式系統內的能耗議題與即時應用程式的資源共享議題。為了減少應用程式之間資源搶奪的優先權倒置，並積極節省系統的能耗，本篇論文提出基於軟即時系統的動態頻率調整，並提供應用程式時限延遲上限保證，讓系統設計者動態權衡系統利用率與能源消耗。

With increased battery-supplied mobile embedded systems, energy-aware real-time scheduling has been getting attention. However, most of the prior work is focused on the partition-based scheduler. In this paper, an energy-aware global-based synchronization is proposed to consider the task model with resource sharing in symmetric multicore embedded systems. To better trade-off between run-time response management and energy conservation, instead of meeting the hard real-time consideration, the dynamic frequency scaling with tardiness bound guarantee is presented.
