However, it is not true in practical real-time systems. The GC algorithm which can schedule aperiodic tasks is proposed, and the variance of live memory is analyzed. In this algorithm, active tasks are deferred to be processed by GC until the states of tasks become inactive, and the saved sporadic server time can be used to schedule aperiodic tasks. Scheduling the sample task sets demonstrates that this algorithm in this paper can schedule aperiodic tasks and decrease GC work. Thus, the GC algorithm proposed is more flexible and portable.展开更多

The key challenges of such DRTS are guaranteeing Real-Time Systems） are employing an end-to-end aperiodic task utilization on multiple processors to achieve overload protection, and meeting the end-to-end deadlines of aperiodic tasks. This paper proposes an end-to-end utilization control architecture and an IC-EAT （Integration Control for End-to-End Aperiodic Tasks） algorithm, which features a distributed feedback loop that dynamically enforces the desired utilization bound on multiple processors. IC-EAT integrates admission control with feedback control, which is able to dynamically determine the QoS （Quality of Service） of incoming tasks and guarantee the end-to-end deadlines of admitted tasks. Then an LQOCM （Linear Quadratic Optimal Control Model） is presented. Finally, experiments demonstrate that, for the end-to-end DRTS whose control matrix G falls into the stable region, the IC-EAT is convergent and stable. Moreover,it is capable of providing better QoS guarantees for end-to-end aperiodic tasks and improving the system throughput.展开更多

The simulation results show that the performance of our presented mechanism in this paper is greatly improved, much better than that of the other three mechanisms： earliest deadline first （EDF）, highest value first （HVF） and highest density first （HDF）, under the same conditions of all nominal loads and task type proportions.展开更多

The scbedulability of the system was analyzed through checkpointing and the energy saving was considered via dynamic voltage and frequency scaling. Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm had better performance compared with the existing voltage allocation techniques. The proposed technique saves 51.5% energy over FT-Only and 19.9% over FT ＋ EC on average. Therefore, the proposed method was more appropriate for aperiodic tasks in embedded real-time systems.展开更多
