This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
Real-time scheduling theory has developed powerful tools for translating conditions on aggregate system utilization into per-task schedulability guarantees. The main breakthrough ...
Grid data streaming applications are novel from others in that they require real-time data supply while the processing is going on, which necessitates harmonious collaborations am...
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) improves processor throughput by processing instructions from multiple threads each cycle. This is the first work to explore soft real-time sche...
With the advances in server technology, and the advent of fast Gigabit networks, it has become possible to support multi-media applications. To support the requirements for the tr...
