Abstract

Multicore systems emerged as an alternative to traditional monocore systems. Although these systems possess high performance, they have more complexity. Moreover, their performance can be degraded because shared hardware resources introduce scheduling delays. To reduce this delay or contention, there are several techniques that can be applied both when allocating tasks to cores and when scheduling tasks within each core. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm that combines different known scheduling policies to obtain a temporal plan that reduces the interference. In addition, we propose an artificial neural network to predict which allocation policy should be applied to minimize the length of the intervals that compose the temporal plan and thus reduce the scheduling complexity of each interval.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Revista Iberoamericana De Automatica E Informatica Industrial due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency Scopus (SJR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2024 there are still no calculated indicators, but in 2023, it was in position , thus managing to position itself as a Q2 (Segundo Cuartil), in the category Computer Science (Miscellaneous). Notably, the journal is positioned en el Cuartil Q4 for the agency WoS (JCR) in the category Robotics.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-06:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 1.

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.35.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 2 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
