Scheduling Arbitrary-Deadline Sporadic Tasks on Multiprocessors

Abstract:
Consider the problem of scheduling a set of n sporadic tasks to meet deadlines on m identical processors. A task is characterized by its minimum inter-arrival time, its deadline and its execution time. Tasks are preemptible and may migrate between processors. We propose a scheduling algorithm for this problem. We also show (through simulation) experiments that for task sets that require pre-run-time guarantees that deadlines are met, the new algorithm offers a significant improvement on the ability to schedule arbitrary-deadline sporadic tasks as compared to the contemporary state-of-art.
