Processor arrays are frequently used to deliver high performance in many applications with computationally intensive operations. This paper presents the General Parameter Method (GP-M), a systematic parameter-based approach for synthesizing such algorithm-speciic architec-tures. GPM can synthesize processor arrays of any lower dimension from a uniform-recurrence description of the algorithm. Th...

The multiprocessor Deadline-Monotonic (DM) scheduling of sporadic task systems is studied. A new sufficient schedulability test is presented and proved correct. It is shown that this test offers non-trivial quantitative guarantees, including a resource augmentation bound.
