A Feasibility Decision Algorithm for Rate Monotonic and Deadline Monotonic Scheduling

Rate monotonic and deadline monotonic scheduling are commonly used for periodic real-time task systems. This paper discusses a feasibility decision for a given real-time task system when the system is scheduled by rate monotonic and deadline monotonic scheduling. The time complexity of existing feasibility decision algorithms depends on both the number of tasks and maximum periods or deadlines when the periods and deadlines are integers. This paper presents a new necessary and sufficient condition for a given task system to be feasible and proposes a new feasibility decision algorithm based on that condition. The time complexity of this algorithm depends solely on the number of tasks. This condition can also be applied as a sufficient condition for a task system using priority inheritance protocols to be feasible with rate monotonic and deadline monotonic scheduling.     

Scheduling of Offset Free Systems

In this paper, we study the problem of scheduling hard real-time periodic tasks. We consider independent tasks which are characterized by a period, a hard deadline and a computation time, but where the offsets may be chosen by the scheduling algorithm. We first show that we can restrict the problem by considering non-equivalent offset assignments. More precisely, we show that there are finitely many non-equivalent offset assignments and we propose a method to reduce significantly this number and consider only the minimal number of non-equivalent offset assignments. We then propose an optimal offset assignment rule which considers only the non-equivalent offset assignments. However the number of combinations remains exponential; for this reason, we also propose a nearly optimal algorithm with a more reasonable time complexity.

容错多处理机中一种高效的实时调度算法

针对基于主副版本容错的多处理机中独立的、抢占性的硬实时任务,提出了一种高效的调度算法——TPFTRM(task partition based fault tolerant rate-monotonic)算法.该算法将单机实时RM 算法扩展到容错多处理机上,并且调度过程中从不使用主动执行的任务副版本,而仅使用被动执行和主副重叠方式执行的任务副版本,从而最大限度地利用副版本重叠和分离技术提高了算法调度性能.此外,TPFTRM 根据任务负载不同将任务集合划分成两个不相交的子集进行分配;还根据处理机调度的任务版本不同,将处理机集合划分成3 个不相交的子集进行调度,从而使TPFTRM 调度算法便于理解、实现以及减少了调度所需要的运行时间.模拟实验对各种具有不同周期和任务负载的任务集合进行了调度测试.实验结果表明,TPFTRM与目前所知同类算法相比,在调度相同参数的任务集合时不仅明显减少了调度所需要的处理机数目,还减少了调度所需要的运行时间,从而证实了TPFTRM 算法的高效性.

Dynamic Real-time Scheduling of Firm Periodic Tasks with Hard and Soft Aperiodic Tasks

In this paper, we address the problem of the dynamic scheduling of skippable periodic task sets (i.e., period tasks allowing occasional skips of instances), together with aperiodic tasks. Scheduling of tasks is handled thanks to the merging of two existing approaches: the Skip-Over task model and the EDL (Earliest Deadline as Late as possible) aperiodic task server. The objective is to provide two on-line scheduling algorithms, namely EDL-RTO and EDL-BWP, in order to minimize the average response time of soft aperiodic requests, while ensuring that the QoS (Quality of Service) of periodic tasks will never be less than a specified bound. We also extend our results to the acceptance of sporadic tasks (i.e., aperiodic tasks with deadlines). We show that these novel scheduling algorithms have better performance compared to related algorithms regarding aperiodic response time and acceptance ratio.

Multicycle Polling Scheduling Algorithms for FieldBus Networks

The paper deals with the scheduling of periodic information flow in a FieldBus environment. The scheduling problem is defined from an analytical point of view, giving a brief survey of the most well-known solutions. One of these is called multicycle polling scheduling, which is based on the hypothesis that all the production periods of the periodic processes to be scheduled are harmonic. Although in some process control or manufacturing scenarios, this hypothesis may be acceptable, there are many real industrial processes to which it cannot be applied. The aim of the paper is to make a contribution towards solving the scheduling problem. It essentially concerns extension of the theory on which multicycle polling scheduling is based to a much more realistic and general scenario, where the periods of all the processes to be scheduled have arbitrary values. The authors present a new formulation of multicycle polling scheduling, called extended multicycle polling scheduling, and demonstrate that it comprises the scenario currently considered in the literature. Two algorithmic solutions for extended multicycle polling scheduling are then proposed, giving a computational complexity analysis which will highlight the capability of the algorithmic scheduling solutions to be performed on-line. The paper concludes by comparing the multicycle polling scheduling approach known in literature and the one presented in the paper. Comparison is performed by evaluating the use of available bandwidth to serve both periodic and asynchronous traffic in the two approaches.     

A Genetic Algorithm for Hybrid Flow-shop Scheduling with Multiprocessor Tasks

The hybrid flow-shop scheduling problem with multiprocessor tasks finds its applications in real-time machine-vision systems among others. Motivated by this application and the computational complexity of the problem, we propose a genetic algorithm in this paper. We first describe the implementation details, which include a new crossover operator. We then perform a preliminary test to set the best values of the control parameters, namely the population size, crossover rate and mutation rate. Next, given these values, we carry out an extensive computational experiment to evaluate the performance of four versions of the proposed genetic algorithm in terms of the percentage deviation of the solution from the lower bound value. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the genetic algorithm performs the best when the new crossover operator is used along with the insertion mutation. This genetic algorithm also outperforms the tabu search algorithm proposed in the literature for the same problem.
