Apparatus and method for scheduling task and resizing cache memory of embedded multicore processor

摘要

PURPOSE: A task scheduling/cache memory resizing device of an embedded multi core processor and a method thereof are provided to reduce energy/power consumption by periodically decentralizing a task to cores. CONSTITUTION: A task number recognizing unit(32) recognizes the number of non-periodic tasks. A comparing unit(34) compares the number of the non-periodic tasks with a critical value. A core controlling unit(36) controls the number of cores(10-16) for periodic task. The comparing unit includes a timer for calculating the number of non-periodic tasks.
