Low-Overhead Non-Preemptive Scheduling of Real-Time Tasks upon Multiprocessor Platforms

While multiprocessor platforms have been widely adopted by the embedded systems industry in the past couple of years, there are still fundamental challenges about their timing predictability for applications with real-time timing constraints. The common-off-the-shelf (COTS) multiprocessor platforms typically use complex hardware components,...
