Schedulability analysis of globally scheduled preemptive applications

For any real-time system, being predictable with respect to time is a basic necessity. The combination of a preemptive execution model and a multiprocessor platform poses a challenge when analysing the predictability of a system. In this thesis, we present a new type of framework for the worst-case response time analysis for preemptive tasks...

Schedulability analysis of limited-preemptive moldable gang tasks

Gang scheduling, has long been adopted by the high-performance computing community as a way to reduce the synchronization overhead between related threads. Gang schedulling allows for several threads to execute in lock steps without suffering from long busy-wait periods or be penalised by large context-switch overheads. If several threads use...
