While most prior work on multiprocessor real-time scheduling focuses on independent tasks, dependencies due to non-preemptive sections, suspensions, and pipelinebased precedence c...
Existing software scheduling techniques limit the functions that can be implemented in software to those with a restricted class of timing constraints, in particular those with a c...
In this paper we study the global scheduling of periodic task systems upon uniform multiprocessor platforms. We first show two very general properties which are wellknown for uni...
—In this paper we propose the method of task merging and idle period clustering for dynamic power management (DPM) in a real-time system with multiple processing elements. We sho...
