Abstract
In battery-powered Swarm nodes, energy consumption is a critical resource that must be allocated wisely in order to maximize utility and functionality during the lifetime of the device. As energy consumption permeates every aspect of computing from device to application level, energy allocation is necessarily a cross-layer optimization problem. One way to address cross-layer resource allocation problems in the Swarm is by utilizing the two-level scheduling framework proposed by the Tessellation operating system (TOS). In TOS, each application is hosted in a cell, which is a partition of the total system resources. The allocation of resources to cells is done by the global resource allocation broker (RAB) to resolve resource conflicts between applications. Second-level application-specific task schedulers (ATS) distribute these allocated resources to specific tasks in order to meet desired performance criteria.
