—Hardware-managed caches introduce large amounts of timing variability, complicating real-time system design. One alternative is a memory system with scratchpad memories which im...
– Many embedded system designs usually impose (hard) read-time constraints on tasks. Thus, computing a tight upper bound of the worst case execution time (WCET) of a software is ...
The load parameter of a sporadic task system is defined to be the largest possible cumulative execution requirement that can be generated by jobs of the task system over any time...

We consider the scheduling of a sporadic real-time task system on an identical multiprocessor. Though Pfair algorithms are theoretically optimal for such task systems, in practice...
We derive analytically, the performance optimal throttling curve for a processor under thermal constraints for a given task sequence. We found that keeping the chip temperature co...
