Monoprocessor Real-Time Scheduling of Data Dependent Tasks with Exact Preemption Cost for Embedded Systems
Falou Ndoye, Yves Sorel · 2013
Most safety critical embedded systems, i.e. systems for which constraints must necessarily be satisfied in order to avoid catastrophic consequences, consist of a set of data dependent tasks which exchange data. Although non-preemptive real-time scheduling is safer than preemptive real-time scheduling in a safety critical context, preemptive real-time scheduling provides a better success ratio, but the preemption has a cost. In this paper we propose a schedulability analysis for data dependent periodic tasks which takes into account the exact preemption cost, data dependence constraints without loss of data and mutual exclusion constraints.
