From the humble infinite loop to the priority-based preemptive RTOS and beyond, scheduling options are everywhere to be found. This article offers a survey and comparison. Many different kinds of task ...

Multiprocessor real-time systems are central to modern computing, underpinning applications from smart devices to industrial automation. Real-time scheduling in these systems ensures that diverse ...

Android mobile operating system, which is based on Linux Kernel 2.6, has open source license and adaptability to user driven applications. As all other operating systems it has all the basic features ...

Real time embedded systems typically use a collection of application tasks or threads that must complete their work within real time constraints. Real time systems generally employ preemptive ...

Many market sectors, such as financial trading, defense, industry automation and gaming, long have had a need for low latencies and deterministic response time. Traditionally, custom-built hardware ...

We give an O(n log n) time algorithm to preemptively schedule n equal-length jobs with release times on two identical, parallel machines so as to minimize the mean flow time. The complexity of the ...
