An 0(n log mn) algorithm is presented to preemptively schedule n tasks on m identical machines. The tasks are assumed to have due dates. All tasks are initially available. The objective is to obtain a ...

We study the problem of obtaining feasible preemptive schedules for independent jobs. It is assumed that each job has associated with it a release and due time. No job can begin before its release ...

Sporadic events are the bugaboo of many real-time systems. Finding a way to manage aperiodic behavior can spell the difference between system failure and system success. This article presents the ...

Most high-performance embedded systems do not need an expensive and full-functionality real-time operating system (RTOS). A dedicated scheduler such as those used in arbitration processes and traffic ...

Multiprocessor real-time systems are central to modern computing, underpinning applications from smart devices to industrial automation. Real-time scheduling in these systems ensures that diverse ...
