In this paper, we address the power-aware scheduling of sporadic constrained-deadline hard real-time tasks using dynamic voltage scaling upon multiprocessor platforms. We propose two distinct algorithms. Our first algorithm is an off-line speed determination mechanism which provides an identical speed for each processor. That speed guarantees that all deadlines are met if the jobs are scheduled using EDF. The second algorithm is an on-line and adaptive speed adjustment mechanism which reduces the energy consumption while the system is running.
