— Program code size is a critical factor in determining the manufacturing cost of many embedded systems, particularly those aimed at the extremely costconscious consumer market. ...
Motivated by applications in grid computing and projects management, we study multiprocessor scheduling in scenarios where there is uncertainty in the successful execution of jobs...
We consider the problem of implementing shared objects in uniprocessor and multiprocessor real-time systems in which tasks are executed using a scheduling quantum. In most quantum...
—Modern micro-architecture simulators are many orders of magnitude slower than the hardware they simulate. The use of multiprocessor architectures for supporting future mobile an...
In this paper, we address the scheduling problem of multi-mode real-time systems upon uniform multiprocessor platforms. We propose two transition protocols, specified together wit...
