Response-Time Analysis for Non-Preemptive Global Scheduling with Spin Locks

With the proliferation of multicore platforms, the embedded systems world has shifted more and more towards multiprocessing to make use of high computing power and increased cyber functionalities. Although today multiprocessor platforms have been extensively adopted by real-time embedded systems, there exists a need for tools and techniques that...

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,...
