Joint garbage collection and hard real-time scheduling

We analyze the integration of automatic memory management in a real-time context. We focus on integrating a real-time (copying) garbage collector with hard real-time static-priority periodic tasks. This integration is done by considering the copying collector as an aperiodic task served by a polling server. We analyze the schedulability of this system for any polling server parameters. This analysis includes a bound on the memory size that guarantees sufficient memory for the periodic tasks. Plan
