We consider a task graph to be executed on a set of processors. We assume that the mapping is given, say by an ordered list of tasks to execute on each processor, and we aim at optimizing the energy consumption while enforcing a prescribed bound on the execution time. While it is not possible to change the allocation of a task, it is possible to change its speed. We study the complexity of the problem for different models: continuous speeds, discrete modes, distributed either arbitrarily or regularly, and VDD-hopping.
