Abstract

In this paper, we provide an adaptive power-aware checkpointing scheme for fixed priority-based DVS scheduling in dependable real-time systems. In the provided scheme, we analyze the minimum number of tolerable faults of a task and the optimal checkpointing interval in order to meet the deadline and guarantee its specified reliability. The energy-efficient voltage level at a fault arrival is also analyzed and used in the recovery of the faulty task.
