Simulation-based schedulability tests for multiprocessor real-time systems
Gheorghe Sebestyen, Anca Hângan, Alin Suciu · 2012
The assimilation of multiprocessor programming into the real-time application's domain is limited because there are not enough theoretical and pragmatic tools for proving the feasibility of such systems. Theoretical results are few and tend to be too complex for a practical implementation. In this paper, we combine theoretical analysis results with simulation to obtain a tool, which can assess the multiprocessor real-time schedulability of periodic task sets. We performed simulations on different scenarios in order to determine the features that influence schedulability of a multiprocessor real-time system.
