Isha}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {With the necessity of increased processing capacity with less energy consumption; power aware multiprocessor system has gained more attention in the recent future. One of the additional challenges that is to be solved in a multi-processor system when compared to uni-processor system is job allocation. This paper presents a novel task dependent job allocation algorithm: Energy centric- Allocation (Ec-A) and Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling to minimize energy consumption in a multiprocessor system. A simulation analysis is carried out to verify the performance increase with reduction in energy consumption and required number of processors in the system. }, journal = {International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {1}, year = {2014}, pages = {264 - 270}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9997865}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/85}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 85, 2014}, }
