DVFS processors, if used properly, can dramatically reduce the energy consumption of real-time systems employing such processors. In this chapter, two static or off-line, voltage/frequency selection techniques are presented to maximally exploit the energy-saving benefit provided by DVFS processors. The first technique targets a popular dynamic-priority task scheduling algorithm, i.e., the Earliest Deadline First algorithm, while the second is applicable to any fixedpriority task scheduling algorithm. Other related work is reviewed at the end of the chapter.
