Energy-Aware Scheduling using Dynamic Voltage-Frequency Scaling
  The energy consumption issue in distributed computing systems has become quite critical due to environmental concerns. In response to this, many energy-aware scheduling algorithms have been developed primarily by using the dynamic voltage-frequency scaling (DVFS) capability incorporated in recent commodity processors. The majority of these algorithms involve two passes: schedule generation and slack reclamation. The latter is typically achieved by lowering processor frequency for tasks with slacks. In this article, we study the latest papers in this area and develop them. This study has been evaluated based on results obtained from experiments with 1,500 randomly generated task graphs.
