Decoupled Speed Scaling: Analysis and Evaluation [PDF]
2012 Ninth International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of Systems, 2012 In this paper, we introduce the notion of decoupledspeed scaling, wherein the speed scaling function is completely decoupled from the scheduling policy used in a simple single-server computer system. As an initial result, we first demonstrate that the Fair Sojourn Protocol (FSP) scheduling policy does not work properly with coupled (native) speed ...
