Hybrid real-time task scheduling upon multiprocessor platforms using server techniques

Abstract

A predictable real-time control scheme for manufacturing systems underlying real-time constraints is proposed. The preemptive scheduling of systems consisting of hybrid (periodic and aperiodic) tasks on a platform comprised of several uniform multiprocessors is considered. Based on resource augmentation techniques, the Total Bandwidth Server on uniform multiprocessors, is developed The predictability and the performance of the system are proved through schedulability analysis techniques and simulation studies respectively.
