In this paper, we present a new hierarchical scheduling framework for periodic tasks in symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) platforms. Partitioned and global scheduling are the two main approaches used by SMP based systems where global scheduling is recommended for overall performance and partitioned scheduling is recommended for hard real-time performance. Our approach combines both the global and partitioned approaches of traditional SMP-based schedulers to provide hard real-time performance guarantees for critical tasks and improved response times for soft real-time tasks. Implemented as part of VxWorks, the results are confirmed using a real-time benchmark application, where response times were improved for soft real-time tasks while still providing hard real-time performance.

International audience We consider hard real-time systems composed of periodic tasks and of an aperiodic flow. Each task, either periodic or aperiodic, has a firm deadline. An aperiodic task is accepted within the system only if it can be completed before its deadline, without causing temporal failures for the periodic tasks or for the previously accepted aperiodic tasks. We propose an acceptance test, linear in the number of pending accepted aperiodic tasks. This protocol can be used provided the idle slots left by the periodic tasks are fairly distributed. We then propose a model-driven approach, based on Petri nets, to produce schedules with a fair distribution of the idle slots for systems of non independent periodic tasks. Nous considérons des systèmes temps-réel composés de tâches périodiques et d’un fluxapériodique. Toutes les tâches, périodiques comme apériodiques, sont soumises à des échéancesstrictes. Une tâche apériodique n’est acceptée que si elle ne remet pas en cause le respect deséchéances par les tâches périodiques et par les tâches apériodiques déjà acceptées. Nous proposonsun protocole d’acceptation des tâches apériodiques de complexité linéaire en le nombre de tâchesapériodiques acceptées présentes dans le système. Ce protocle est utilisable dès lors que les tempscreux sont répartis de manière équitable. Nous proposons donc une approche modèle, à base deréseaux de Petri, pour produire des séquences où les temps creux sont équitablement répartis, pourdes systèmes de tâches interdépendantes.

For a hard real-time multicore system, the two important issues that are required to be addressed are feasibility of a task set and balancing of load amongst the cores of the multicore systems. Most of the previous work done considers the scheduling of periodic tasks on a multicore system. This chapter deals with scheduling of aperiodic tasks on a multicore system in a hard real-time environment. In this regard, a multicore total bandwidth server (MTBS) is proposed which schedules the aperiodic tasks with already guaranteed periodic tasks amongst the cores of the multicore processor. The proposed MTBS algorithm works by computing a virtual deadline for every aperiodic task that is arriving to the system. Apart from schedulability of aperiodic tasks, the MTBS approach also focuses on reducing the response time of aperiodic tasks. The simulation studies of MTBS were carried out to find the effectiveness of the proposed approach, and it is also compared with the existing strategies.
