Safe-state approach to real-time system scheduling

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7159571
This paper discusses nondeterministic scheduling for real-time systems serving a mix of tasks, some with deadlines to the beginning of service and some with deadlines to the completion of service. Some of the tasks may have, in addition to a deadline, some form or other of priorities associated with their execution. The authors propose treating all these cases uniformly by determining an estimated extinction time, defined as the latest time a task with a deadline and priority must begin its execution, and then to schedule the task according to some policy based upon its estimated extinction time.
