While it is widely believed that preemptability is a necessary requirement for developing real-time software, there are additional costs involved with preemptive scheduling, as co...
This report addresses the problem of scheduling for real-time systems that include both hard and soft tasks. In order to capture the relative importance of soft tasks and how the ...
Energy conservation is an important issue in the design of embedded systems. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) are two widely used techniques for sav...
In designing bus based systems with parallel and pipelined architecture, it is important to derive a real time budget (a specified execution time limit) for each task of a bus bas...
This paper discusses an approach for supporting soft realtime periodic tasks in Linux on performance asymmetric multicore platforms (AMPs). Such architectures consist of a large n...
