Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "There are two major approaches to guaranteeing hard real-time deadlines for periodic tasks using scheduling algorithms based on fixed priorities: utilization bound checks, which check the total expected processor utilization, and do not require detailed information about the taskset; and exact schedulability checks, which use detailed information. In this work, we present a technique for determining period-specific utilization bounds, which use task period information, generally available at design time, but not task computation time information, which is hard to determine accurately. The technique we use for determining the bound is an innovative approach which makes use of linear programming."

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a selection of papers that focus on the state-of the-art in real-time scheduling and resource management. Preliminary versions of these papers were presented at a workshop on the foundations of real-time computing sponsored by the Office of Naval Research in October, 1990 in Washington, D.C. A companion volume by the title Foundations of Real-Time Computing: Fonnal Specifications and Methods complements this book by addressing many of the most advanced approaches currently being investigated in the arena of formal specification and verification of real-time systems. Together, these two texts provide a comprehensive snapshot of current insights into the process of designing and building real-time computing systems on a scientific basis. Many of the papers in this book take care to define the notion of real-time system precisely, because it is often easy to misunderstand what is meant by that term. Different communities of researchers variously use the term real-time to refer to either very fast computing, or immediate on-line data acquisition, or deadline-driven computing. This text is concerned with the very difficult problems of scheduling tasks and resource management in computer systems whose performance is inextricably fused with the achievement of deadlines. Such systems have been enabled for a rapidly increasing set of diverse end-uses by the unremitting advances in computing power per constant-dollar cost and per constant-unit-volume of space. End-use applications of deadline-driven real-time computers span a spectrum that includes transportation systems, robotics and manufacturing, aerospace and defense, industrial process control, and telecommunications.

Download or read book Integrating Best effort Policies Into Hard Real time Systems Based on Fixed Priority Pre emptive Scheduling written by R. I. Davis and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Analysis is provided for fixed priority pre-emptive scheduling enables a priori guarantees to be given regarding the timing requirements of critical tasks. By comparison, Best-Effort scheduling maximises system utility, but at best provides only probabilistic guarantees that time constraints will be met. In this paper, we show how these two schemes can be integrated. A new Adaptive Value-Density Threshold policy is introduced which approximates the Best-Effort policy but incurs much lower overheads. This policy is used to admit optional (utility enhancing) tasks for on-line acceptance testing. If guaranteed such components are assigned a fixed priority and executed when no higher priority tasks are runnable. This approach combines the benefits of guaranteeing hard requirements with increased system utility, resilience to software failures and increased application robustness."

Download or read book Multiprocessor Scheduling for Real Time Systems written by Sanjoy Baruah and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-02 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of both theoretical and pragmatic aspects of resource-allocation and scheduling in multiprocessor and multicore hard-real-time systems. The authors derive new, abstract models of real-time tasks that capture accurately the salient features of real application systems that are to be implemented on multiprocessor platforms, and identify rules for mapping application systems onto the most appropriate models. New run-time multiprocessor scheduling algorithms are presented, which are demonstrably better than those currently used, both in terms of run-time efficiency and tractability of off-line analysis. Readers will benefit from a new design and analysis framework for multiprocessor real-time systems, which will translate into a significantly enhanced ability to provide formally verified, safety-critical real-time systems at a significantly lower cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "In real-time systems using the priority-driven scheduling scheme, priority inversion may occur when a high-priority job that wants to access a shared resource is forced to wait for the execution of a low-priority job. Several resource access control protocols have been proposed for controlling the number of priority inversions. In this paper, we study sufficient schedulability conditions for these resource access control protocols which are based on the earliest deadline first algorithm. We present a new schedulability condition which has a higher processor utilization bound than those previously reported in the literature."

Download or read book Soft Real Time Systems Predictability vs Efficiency written by Giorgio C Buttazzo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-07-02 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hard real-time systems are very predictable, but not sufficiently flexible to adapt to dynamic situations. They are built under pessimistic assumptions to cope with worst-case scenarios, so they often waste resources. Soft real-time systems are built to reduce resource consumption, tolerate overloads and adapt to system changes. They are also more suited to novel applications of real-time technology, such as multimedia systems, monitoring apparatuses, telecommunication networks, mobile robotics, virtual reality, and interactive computer games. This unique monograph provides concrete methods for building flexible, predictable soft real-time systems, in order to optimize resources and reduce costs. It is an invaluable reference for developers, as well as researchers and students in Computer Science.

This book was released on 2007-11-14 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast majority of control systems built today are embedded; that is, they rely on built-in, special-purpose digital computers to close their feedback loops. Embedded systems are common in aircraft, factories, chemical processing plants, and even in cars–a single high-end automobile may contain over eighty different computers. The design of embedded controllers and of the intricate, automated communication networks that support them raises many new questions—practical, as well as theoretical—about network protocols, compatibility of operating systems, and ways to maximize the effectiveness of the embedded hardware. This handbook, the first of its kind, provides engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and students a broad, comprehensive source of information and technology to address many questions and aspects of embedded and networked control. Separated into six main sections—Fundamentals, Hardware, Software, Theory, Networking, and Applications—this work unifies into a single reference many scattered articles, websites, and specification sheets. Also included are case studies, experiments, and examples that give a multifaceted view of the subject, encompassing computation and communication considerations.

Download or read book Real time Scheduling for Energy Haversting Embedded Systems written by Younès Chandarli and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we are interested in the real-time fixed-priority scheduling problem of energy-harvesting systems. An energy-harvesting system is a system that can collect the energy from the environment in order to store it in a storage device and then to use it to supply an electronic device. This technology is used in small embedded systems that are required to run autonomously for a very long lifespan. Wireless sensor networks and medical implants are typical applications of this technology. Moreover, most of these devices have to execute many recurrent tasks within a limited time. Thus, these devices are subject to real-time constraints where the correctness of the system depends not only on the correctness of the results but also on the time in which they are delivered. This thesis focuses on the preemptive fixed-task-priority real-time scheduling for such systems in monoprocessor platforms. The problematic here is to find efficient scheduling algorithms and schedulability conditions that check the schedulability of a given task set in a given energy configuration. The first result of this thesis is the proposition of the PFPasap scheduling algorithm. It is an adaptation of the classical fixed-task-priority scheduling to the energy-harvesting context. It consists of executing tasks as soon as possible whenever the energy is sufficient to execute at least one time unit and replenishes otherwise. The replenishment periods are as long as needed to execute one time unit. We prove that PFPasap is optimal but only in the case of non-concrete systems where the first release time of tasks and the initial energy storage unit level are known only at run-time and where all the tasks consume more energy than the replenishment during execution times. A sufficient and necessary schedulability condition for such systems is also proposed. Unfortunately, when we relax the assumption of tasks energy consumption profile, by considering both tasks that consume more energy than the replenishment and the ones that consume less than the replenishment, PFPasap is no longer optimal and the worst-case scenario is no longer the synchronous release of all the tasks, which makes the precedent schedulability test only necessary. To cope with this limitation, we propose to upper bound tasks worst-case response time in order to build sufficient schedulability conditions instead of exact ones. Regarding algorithms optimality, we explore different ideas in order to build an optimal algorithm for the general model of fixed-task-priority tasks by considering all types of task sets and energy consumption profiles. We show through some counter examples the difficulty of finding such an algorithm and we show that most of intuitive scheduling algorithms are not optimal. After that, we discuss the possibility of finding such an algorithm. In order to better understand the scheduling problematic of fixed-priority scheduling for energy-harvesting systems, we also try to explore the solutions of similar scheduling problematics, especially the ones that delay executions in order to guarantee some requirements. The thermal-aware scheduling is one of these problematics. It consists of executing tasks such that a maximum temperature is never exceeded. This may lead to introduce additional idle times to cool down the system in order to prevent reaching the maximum temperature. As a first step, we propose in this thesis to adapt the solutions proposed for energy-harvesting systems to the thermal-aware model. Thus, we adapt the PFPasap algorithm to respect the thermal constraints and we propose a sufficient schedulability analysis based on worst-case response time upper bounds. Finally, we present YARTISS: the simulation tool used to evaluate the theoretical results presented in this dissertation.

Download or read book Deadline Scheduling for Real Time Systems written by John A. Stankovic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many real-time systems rely on static scheduling algorithms. This includes cyclic scheduling, rate monotonic scheduling and fixed schedules created by off-line scheduling techniques such as dynamic programming, heuristic search, and simulated annealing. However, for many real-time systems, static scheduling algorithms are quite restrictive and inflexible. For example, highly automated agile manufacturing, command, control and communications, and distributed real-time multimedia applications all operate over long lifetimes and in highly non-deterministic environments. Dynamic real-time scheduling algorithms are more appropriate for these systems and are used in such systems. Many of these algorithms are based on earliest deadline first (EDF) policies. There exists a wealth of literature on EDF-based scheduling with many extensions to deal with sophisticated issues such as precedence constraints, resource requirements, system overload, multi-processors, and distributed systems. Deadline Scheduling for Real-Time Systems: EDF and Related Algorithms aims at collecting a significant body of knowledge on EDF scheduling for real-time systems, but it does not try to be all-inclusive (the literature is too extensive). The book primarily presents the algorithms and associated analysis, but guidelines, rules, and implementation considerations are also discussed, especially for the more complicated situations where mathematical analysis is difficult. In general, it is very difficult to codify and taxonomize scheduling knowledge because there are many performance metrics, task characteristics, and system configurations. Also, adding to the complexity is the fact that a variety of algorithms have been designed for different combinations of these considerations. In spite of the recent advances there are still gaps in the solution space and there is a need to integrate the available solutions. For example, a list of issues to consider includes: preemptive versus non-preemptive tasks, uni-processors versus multi-processors, using EDF at dispatch time versus EDF-based planning, precedence constraints among tasks, resource constraints, periodic versus aperiodic versus sporadic tasks, scheduling during overload, fault tolerance requirements, and providing guarantees and levels of guarantees (meeting quality of service requirements). Deadline Scheduling for Real-Time Systems: EDF and Related Algorithms should be of interest to researchers, real-time system designers, and instructors and students, either as a focussed course on deadline-based scheduling for real-time systems, or, more likely, as part of a more general course on real-time computing. The book serves as an invaluable reference in this fast-moving field.
