چکیده

In a distributed environment, tasks often have processing demands on multiple di erent sites. A distributed task is usually divided up into several subtasks, each one to be executed at some site in order. In a real-time system, an overall deadline is usually speci ed by an application designer indicating when a distributed task is to be nished. However, the problem of how a global deadline is automatically translated to the deadline of each individual subtask has not been well studied. This paper examines (through simulations) four strategies for subtask deadline assignment in a distributed soft real-time environment.

A Non-Preemptive Two-Class M/M/1 System with Prioritized Real-Time Jobs under Earliest-Deadline-First Policy

This paper introduces an analytical method for approximating the performance of a two-class priority M/M/1 system. The system is fully non-preemptive. More specifically, the prioritized class-1 jobs are real-time and served with the non-preemptive earliest-deadline-first (EDF) policy, but despite their priority cannot preempt any non real-time class-2 job. The waiting class-2 jobs can only be s...

A Multiprocessor System with Non-Preemptive Earliest-Deadline-First Scheduling Policy: A Performability Study

This paper introduces an analytical method for approximating the performability of a firm realtime system modeled by a multi-server queue. The service discipline in the queue is earliestdeadline- first (EDF), which is an optimal scheduling algorithm. Real-time jobs with exponentially distributed relative deadlines arrive according to a Poisson process. All jobs have deadlines until the end of s...

Analysis of deadline assignment methods in distributed real-time systems

The deadline assignment problem arises in distributed systems where each subtask composing a distributed task must receive a local deadline such that the task end-to-end deadline is met. It also arises in multi-hop networks where the maximum sojourn time of a flow on each visited node must be bounded by a local deadline that allows the flow end-to-end deadline to be met. We first formalize the ...

Optimized Deadline Assignment and Schedulability Analysis for Distributed Real-Time Systems with Local EDF Scheduling

The assignment of scheduling parameters under the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling policy is trivial in single processor systems because deadlines are used directly. However, it is still difficult to find a feasible deadline assignment for EDF distributed systems when the utilization levels of the CPUs and communication networks are pushed near to their limits. Most distributed applicat...

Deadline Assignment in Distributed Hard Real-Time Systems with Relaxed Locality Constraints

In a real-time system, tasks are constrained by global end-to-end deadlines. In order to cater for high task schedulability, these deadlines must be distributed over component subtasks in an intelligent way. Existing methods for automatic distribution of end-to-end deadlines are all based on the assumption that task assignments are entirely known beforehand. This assumption is not necessarily v...
