Supporting Pipelines in Soft Real-Time Multiprocessor Systems

In work on multiprocessor real-time systems, processing pipelines have received little attention. In this paper, soft real-time periodic task systems are considered that include such pipelines. Conditions are presented for guaranteeing bounded deadline tardiness in such systems under global EDF or FIFO multiprocessor scheduling.
