Computer Science Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Energy-Aware Task Scheduling Simulator

This Computer Science final year project investigates balancing completion deadlines and simulated processor energy use, with an explicit prototype scope and a reproducible evaluation plan.

Why choose this project topic?

The practical value of this topic lies in balancing completion deadlines and simulated processor energy use. It gives a student a demonstrable computing problem, with missed deadlines, energy estimates and waiting time providing concrete evidence for a critical project discussion.

When does deadline-aware scheduling reduce estimated energy without excessive missed deadlines?

Agree the available tools, workload size and evaluation criteria with your supervisor; adapt balancing completion deadlines and simulated processor energy use to a clearly bounded institutional or laboratory setting.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the requirements and assumptions for balancing completion deadlines and simulated processor energy use.
  2. 02Simulate jobs with known arrivals and durations, compare scheduling policies under a stated power model and test sensitivity to estimation errors.
  3. 03Evaluate missed deadlines, energy estimates and waiting time against a documented baseline and discuss failure cases.

A suggested research approach

Simulate jobs with known arrivals and durations, compare scheduling policies under a stated power model and test sensitivity to estimation errors. Record the chosen implementation, dataset construction and repeatable test conditions before comparing missed deadlines, energy estimates and waiting time. Keep development and evaluation cases separate where possible, and retain failed cases in the analysis rather than reporting only successful demonstrations.

What you will need

  • Synthetic job traces
  • Documented processor power model
  • Scheduling simulator

Keep your project scope clear

Modelled energy must not be reported as measured electricity consumption. A project write-up does not supply a working application.
