  1. Embedded System Scheduling

  2. Real-Time Systems (from Dr. Chalermek Intanagonwiwat) Result in severe consequences if logical and timing correctness are not met Two types exist Soft real-time Tasks are performed as fast as possible Late completion of jobs is undesirable but not fatal. System performance degrades as more & more jobs miss deadlines Example: Online Databases

  3. Real-Time Systems (cont.) (from Dr. Chalermek Intanagonwiwat) Hard real-time Tasks have to be performed on time Failure to meet deadlines is fatal Example : Flight Control System Qualitative Definition

  4. Hard and Soft Real Time Systems(Operational Definition) (from Dr. Chalermek Intanagonwiwat) Hard Real Time System Validation by provably correct procedures or extensive simulation that the system always meets the timings constraints Soft Real Time System Demonstration of jobs meeting some statistical constraints suffices. Example – Multimedia System 25 frames per second on an average

  5. Embedded & Real-Time Systems • Execute tasks correctly and IN time. • Systems with multiple tasks need scheduling

  6. Definitions • Ready time r – task available • Schedule • Completed C • Deadline D From C.W. Mercer

  7. Ready time • Clock • External interrupt • Software e.g. branch

  8. Terms • Periodic – aperiodic • Fixed – variable computation time • Predictable – unpredictable • Preemptible – non preemptible • Task  overall activity • Jobs  individual computation

  9. Terminologies (from J. A. Stankovic) • Job • Each unit of work that is scheduled and executed by the system • Task • A set of related jobs • For example, a periodic task Ti consists of jobs J1, J2, J3, … coming at every period • Release time • Time instant at which a job becomes available for execution • It can be executed at any time at or after the release time • Deadline • Time instant by which a job should be finished • Relative deadline: Maximum allowable response time • Absolute deadline = release time + relative deadline Real-time computing

  10. Terminologies (from J. A. Stankovic) • Periodic task Ti • Period Pi • Worst case execution time Ci • Relative deadline Di • Job Jik • Absolute deadline = release time + relative deadline • Response time = finish time – release time • Deadline miss if • Finish time > absolute deadline • Response time of Jik > Di Real-time computing

  11. Relative deadline Real-Time Workload (from Insup Lee) • Job (unit of work) • a computation, a file read, a message transmission, etc • Attributes • Resources required to make progress • Timing parameters Absolute deadline Released Execution time

  12. Real-Time Task (from Insup Lee) • Task : a sequence of similar jobs • Periodic task (p,e) • Its jobs repeat regularly • Period p = inter-release time (0 < p) • Execution time e = maximum execution time (0 < e < p) • Utilization U = e/p 0 5 10 15

  13. Periodic-Aperiodic Tasks From C.W. Mercer

  14. Aperiodic Non-predictable Task From C.W. Mercer

  15. Preemptible&non-preemptible Tasks From C.W. Mercer

  16. Commonly use real-time scheduling • Clock-driven • Weighted round-robin • Priority driven

  17. Scheduling Algorithms in RTOS (cont.) (from Dr. Chalermek Intanagonwiwat) • Clock Driven • All parameters about jobs (execution time/deadline) known in advance. • Schedule can be computed offline or at some regular time instances. • Minimal runtime overhead. • Not suitable for many applications.

  18. Scheduling Algorithms in RTOS (cont.) (from Dr. Chalermek Intanagonwiwat) • Weighted Round Robin • Jobs scheduled in FIFO manner • Time quantum given to jobs is proportional to it’s weight • Example use : High speed switching network • QOS guarantee. • Not suitable for precedence constrained jobs. • Job A can run only after Job B. No point in giving time quantum to Job B before Job A.

  19. Example task set From C.W. Mercer

  20. First in First out (FIFO) From C.W. Mercer

  21. Round Robin scheduling From C.W. Mercer

  22. Cyclic executive From C.W. Mercer

  24. Cyclic executive modified From C.W. Mercer

  25. Scheduling Algorithms in RTOS (cont.) (from Dr. Chalermek Intanagonwiwat) • Priority Scheduling • Processor never left idle when there are ready tasks • Processor allocated to processes according to priorities • Priorities • Static - at design time • Dynamic - at runtime

  26. Priority Scheduling (from Dr. Chalermek Intanagonwiwat) • Earliest Deadline First (EDF) • Process with earliest deadline given highest priority • Least Slack Time First (LSF) • slack = relative deadline – execution left • Rate Monotonic Scheduling (RMS) • For periodic tasks • Tasks priority inversely proportional to it’s period
