Abstract
The modern Linux-based systems with updated operating system are used over a huge range. They provide numerous facilities and features which eventually ease our day to day requirements. However, while providing these variant attributes Response Time of the system increases which affects the systems overall performance. This paper focuses on estimation and analysis of response time by designing scheduler driven DVFS scheme using a Data Intensive Task. The proposed research defined a solution with respect to Operating System track which is to invoke Dynamic Voltage & Frequency Scaling (DVFS) techniques in Linux scheduler Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) in collaboration with frequency change which eventually improves response time and system overall performance.
