  1. Real-Time Scheduling[Chapter 5.5] Aravind Venkataraman

  2. Topics of Discussion • Real-time Computing • Synchronous Programming Languages • Real-time Operating Systems • Real-time System Types • Real-time System Key factors, terminology • Real-time System Methodologies • Real-time Scheduling Algorithms • Real-time Scheduling Implementation Issues • Real-time Computing Research Key People

  3. Real –time Computing [1] • Software & hardware for systems which have real-time constraints and are interrupted often. • Comprises of: • Synchronous Programming Language. • Real-time Operating System. • Real-time Design Methodologies.

  4. Synchronous Programming Language • Provides abstract modules for scheduling algorithms, parallelism, pre-emption. • Finite state (execution time predictable), deterministic, synchronous dataflow. • Declarative and Imperative Languages. • Examples: Lustre, Quartz, SOL, Esterel.

  5. Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) • Examples: Embedded Systems (Appliance Controller, Spacecraft, Robots, Industrial Control. Early Real-time Systems • “Control Program” – American Airlines, IBM – Later called “Sabre Airline Reservation System”. Recent Important Real-time Systems • DSOS (Deep Six OS) – Geophysical Services Division, Texas Instruments. • Ptolemy Project, University of California, Berkeley [8]. • MARS (MAintainable Real-time System). • ARTS Kernel. • Spring Kernel. • CHAOS Kernel. • Alpha Kernel . • Dragon Kernel.

  6. Real-time System Types • ‘Hard’ Real-time System - Guaranteed, deterministic behaviour. • - Critical Jobs. • - Eg. Nuclear Power Plant controller. • ‘Soft’ Real-time System - High Throughput. • - Concurrent access, Large demand. • - Eg. Airline Reservation System.

  7. Hard deadline

  8. Soft deadline

  9. Real-Time System Key Factors[Burns, ‘91] • Minimal Interrupt Latency • Minimal Thread switching Latency Other Terminology • Task Deadline • Maximum Response Time • Worst case Execution Time • Timing Analysis • Priority Inversion • Priority Inheritance • Priority Ceiling Protocol. Important Real-time System Property[Stankovic, ‘84] • System Deadline => Process Deadline • Periodic, Aperiodic Process.

  10. Real-time System Design Methodologies • MASCOT (Modular Approach to Software Construction Operation and Test) • - Architecture Oriented (RT Control & interface definition between concurrent processes) • - British ground-air missile system. • HOOD (Hierarchic Object-Oriented Design) • - Hierarchical decomposition. • - European Space Agency – Aerospace project. • AADL (Architecture Analysis and Design Language) [6] - Automotive, aerospace industry. • RTSJ (Real-Time Specification for Java) [7]

  11. Real-time Scheduling Algorithms [Stankovic,’88] • Classification • Static vs Dynamic • Preemptive vs Non-preemptive • Global vs Local • Examples • Static: • - Fixed-priority Rate-monotonic algorithm • - Fixed-priority Deadline-monotonic algorithm • - Graph based Approach • Dynamic: • - Earliest Deadline First • - Least Laxity

  12. Real-time Implementation issues in Distributed Systems [Kasavant, ‘88] • Communication Delay - worst case execution time, non-deterministic • RPC - Remote blocking
