Reader preference, writer preference, and task-fair readerwriter locks are shown to cause undue blocking in multiprocessor real-time systems. A new phase-fair reader-writer lock i...
We address in this paper the problem of scheduling for multiprocessor real-time systems with hard and soft tasks. Utility functions are associated to soft tasks to capture their r...
We present a multiprocessor scheduling framework for integrating hard and soft real-time tasks and best-effort jobs. This framework allows for full system utilization, and ensures...
High-throughput real-time systems require non-standard and costly hardware and software solutions. Modern workstation can represent a credible alternative to develop realtime inte...
T-N Plane Abstraction (E-TNPA) proposed in this paper realizes work-conserving and efficient optimal real-time scheduling on multiprocessors relative to the original T-N Plane Ab...
