This paper presents a new strategy for scheduling soft real-time tasks on multiple identical cores. The proposed approach is based on partitioned CPU reservations and it uses a reclaiming mechanism to reduce the number of missed deadlines. We introduce the possibility for a task to temporarily migrate to another, less charged, CPU when it has exhausted the reserved bandwidth on its allocated CPU. In addition, we propose a simple load balancing method to decrease the number of deadlines missed by the tasks. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated through simulations, showing its effectiveness (compared to other multi-core reclaiming approaches) and comparing the performance of different partitioning heuristics (Best Fit, Worst Fit and First Fit).

When integrating hard, soft and non-real-time tasks in general purpose operating systems, it is necessary to provide temporal isolation so that the timing properties of one task do not depend on the behaviour of the others. However, strict budget enf orcement can lead to inefficient use of the computational resources in the presence of tasks with variable workload. Many resource reclaiming algorithms have been proposed in the literature for single processor scheduling, but not enough work exists for global scheduling in multiprocessor systems. In this report, we propose two reclaiming algorithms for multiprocessor global scheduling and we prove their correctness.
Real-time scheduling and locking protocols are fundamental facilities to construct time-critical systems. For parallel real-time tasks, predictable locking protocols are required when concurrent sub-jobs mutually exclusive access to shared resources. This paper for the first time studies the distributed synchronization framework of parallel real-time tasks, where both tasks and global resources are partitioned to designated processors, and requests to each global resource are conducted on the processor on which the resource is partitioned. We extend the Distributed Priority Ceiling Protocol (DPCP) for parallel tasks under federated scheduling, with which we proved that a request can be blocked by at most one lower-priority request. We develop task and resource partitioning heuristics and propose analysis techniques to safely bound the task response times. Numerical evaluation (with heavy tasks on 8-, 16-, and 32-core processors) indicates that the proposed methods improve the schedulability significantly compared to the state-of-the-art locking protocols under federated scheduling.
Recent commercial hardware platforms for embedded real-time systems feature heterogeneous processing units and computing accelerators on the same System-on-Chip. When designing complex real-time application for such architectures, the designer needs to make a number of difficult choices: on which processor should a certain task be implemented? Should a component be implemented in parallel or sequentially? These choices may have a great impact on feasibility, as the difference in the processor internal architectures impact on the tasks execution time and preemption cost. To help the designer explore the wide space of design choices and tune the scheduling parameters, in this paper we propose a novel real-time application model, called C-DAG, specifically conceived for heterogeneous platforms. A C-DAG allows to specify alternative implementations of the same component of an application for different processing engines to be selected off-line, as well as conditional branches to model if-then-else statements to be selected at run-time. We also propose a schedulability analysis for the C-DAG model and a heuristic allocation algorithm so that all deadlines are respected. Our analysis takes into account the cost of preempting a task, which can be non-negligible on certain processors. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a large set of synthetic experiments by comparing with state of the art algorithms in the literature.
In this paper, we propose a synchronous protocol without periodicity for scheduling multi-mode real-time systems upon identical multiprocessor platforms. Our proposal can be considered to be a multiprocessor extension of the uniprocessor protocol called Minimal Single Offset protocol.
Myopic is a hard real-time process scheduling algorithm that selects a suitable process based on a heuristic function from a subset (Window)of all ready processes instead of choosing from all available processes, like original heuristic scheduling al gorithm. Performance of the algorithm significantly depends on the chosen heuristic function that assigns weight to different parameters like deadline, earliest starting time, processing time etc. and the sizeof the Window since it considers only k processes from n processes (where, k<= n). This research evaluates the performance of the Myopic algorithm for different parameters to demonstrate the merits and constraints of the algorithm. A comparative performance of the impact of window size in implementing the Myopic algorithm is presented and discussed through a set of experiments.
