Abstract
We propose a scheduling method for real­time systems im­
plemented on multicore platforms that encourages individ­
ual threads of multithreaded real­time tasks to be scheduled
together. When such threads are cooperative and share a
common working set, this method enables more effective use
of on­chip shared caches.
1 Introduction
Multicore architectures, which include several processors on
a single chip, are being widely touted as a solution to the
``thermal roadblock'' imposed by single­core designs. Sev­
eral chip makers have released dual­core chips, and a few
designs with more than two cores have been announced as
well. For instance, Sun recently released its eight­core Ni­
agara chip, while Intel is expected to release chips with 80
cores within five years [6].
