ILP models for the allocation of recurrent workloads upon heterogeneous multiprocessors

International audienceThe problem of partitioning systems of independent constrained-deadline sporadic tasks upon heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms is considered. Several different integer linear program (ILP) formulations of this problem, offering different tradeoffs between effectiveness (as quantified by speedup bound) and running time efficiency, are presented. One of the formulations is leveraged to improve the best speedup guarantee known for a polynomial-time partitioning algorithm , from 12.9 to 7.83. Extensive computational results on synthetically generated instances are also provided to establish the effectiveness of the ILP formulations
