A Configurable Hardware Scheduler for Real-Time Systems.
Pramote Kuacharoen, Mohamed Shalan, Vincent John Mooney III · 2003
Many real-time applications require a high-resolution time tick in order to work properly. However, supporting a high-resolution time tick imposes a very high overhead on the system. In addition, such systems may need to change scheduling discipline from time to time to satisfy some user requirements such as Quality of Service (QoS). The dynamic changing of the scheduling discipline is usually associated with delays during which some deadlines might be missed. In this paper, we present a configurable hardware...
