Periodic and aperiodic tasks co-exist in many realtime systems. The periodic tasks typically arise from sensor data or control loops, while the aperiodic tasks generally arise fro...
Fairness is an essential requirement of any operating system scheduler. Unfortunately, existing fair scheduling algorithms are either inaccurate or inefficient and non-scalable fo...
We present Grouped Distributed Queues (GDQ), the first proportional share scheduler for multiprocessor systems that scales well with a large number of processors and processes. G...
Recently, the microprocessor industry has moved toward chip multiprocessor (CMP) designs as a means of utilizing the increasing transistor counts in the face of physical and micro...
