The Least-Laxity First(or LLF) scheduling algorithm assigns the highest priority to a task with the least laxity, and has been proved to be optimal for a uni-processor and sub-optimal for a multi-processor. However, this algorithm Is Impractical to implement because laxity tie results in the frequent context switches among tasks. In this paper, a Modified Least-Laxity First on Multiprocessor(or MLLF/MP) scheduling algorithm is proposed to solve this problem, i.e., laxity tie results in the excessive scheduling overheads. The MLLF/MP is based on the LLF, but allows the laxity inversion. MLLF/MP continues executing the current running task as far as other tasks do not miss their deadlines. Consequently, it avoids the frequent context switches. We prove that the MLLF/MP is also sub-optimal in multiprocessor systems. By simulation results, we show that the MLLF/MP has less scheduling overheads than LLF.

본 연구의 내용은 실시간 서비스 트래픽, 즉 보장형 서비스를 위한 스케줄링 알고리즘들에 대한 성능분석에 대한 연구이다. 특히 실시간 데이터 전송의 경우, 작은 지연 시간을 요구하면서 안정된 QoS를 요구하고 있다. 기존에 알려진 FQ, WFQ, WF2Q, Virtual Clock 스케줄링 알고리즘들을 사용해서 대기 큐의 수학적 모델이 아닌 시뮬레이션 도구를 사용해서, 지연에 민감한 보장형 서비스 트래픽에 대한 시간 복잡도, 공정성, 처리율 측면으로 성능을 분석하였다.

There have been a number of researches on real-time packet scheduling based on EDF algorithm to support end-to-end delay bound guarantees for real-time traffic transmission. However, EDF-based packet scheduler could not guarantee the real-time requirements of real-time traffic if there exist non-real-time traffic. In this paper, we propose a new admission control algorithm and packet scheduling scheme considering non-real-time traffic in the real -time packet scheduler based on EDF policy. Proposed admission control algorithm has pseudo-polynomial time complexity, but we show through simulation that it can be used with little run-time overhead.

분산 환경의 않은 멀티미디어 응용들은 연속적 음성/화상 자료들을 위한 실시간 특성을 가지는 패킷들을 생성하고, 실시간 태스크 스케줄링 이론에 따라 이들을 전송한다. 본 논문에서는 광대역폭 통신망을 기반으로 하는 분산 멀티미디어 응용의 연속 미디어를 위한 트래픽의 특성을 모델링하고, 보다 사용자의 요구에 따른 서비스 질의 보장을 위하여 비선점적 경성 실시간 태스크 스케줄링 이론인 PDMA 알고리즘을 도입한다. 또한 응용 시스템의 고 품질 서비스를 유지하기 위하여 새로운 트래픽 발생 요청이 현재 진행 중인 서비스 내용에 영향을 주지 않도록 제어하는 사용권 제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 사용권 제어 기법은 PDMA 알고리즘을 위한 충분조건식이기 때문에 이를 만족하는 메시지 집합에 대하여 PDMA 알고리즘은 항상 실행가능한 스케줄을 찾을 수 있다. 따라서, 새로운 요청을 포함하는 전체 메시지 집합이 제안하는 사용권 제어 기법의 조건들을 만족하면, 새로운 요청에 의한 트래픽의 발생을 허용한다. 그렇지 않은 경우 새로운 요청을 거절한다. 끝으로 본 논문에서 제안하는 사용권 제어 기법을 이용하는 스케줄링의 실용성을 입증하기 위한 모의실험 결과를 보인다.

Task scheduling is an essential part of any computer system for allocating tasks to a processor of the system among various competitors. As we know, in real-time system, the failure of scheduling a hard real-time task my lead to disastrous consequence. Besides efficiency, resource and speed, real-time system has to take time constraint in serious consideration. This paper proposes a priority-driven scheduling algorithm for real-time multiprocessor system. which is called L-RE coordinates algorithm. L-RE coordinates is a new way of describing the task scheduling problem. In the algorithm, we take both deadline and laxity into consideration for allocating the priority. The simulation result shows that the new algorithm is viable and performance better than EDF and LLF algorithm on schedulability and context switch respectively.

Recently, the automobile industry is going through drastic environmental changes. The relative importance of information technology rapidly developed so far is getting heavier as it is grafted to electrical and electronic areas among all other automobile-related technologies. In this paper, an improved algorithm from the real-time scheduling algorithm of operation system which is loaded in embedded system will be presented. The number of wait-queue of priority was reduced from 16 to 4 in the parts where wide differences were shown in scheduling algorithm of the existing OSEK OS. While the FIFO algorithm was used in wait-queue, the EDF algorithm was applied to the proposed scheduling algorithm, which more improved the real-timeness. Also a simple experiment on the proposed scheduling algorithm was conducted.

In this paper, we propose an on-line scheduling algorithm with the goal of maximizing the total reward of IRIS (Increasing Reward with Increasing Service) real-time tasks that have reward functions and arrive dynamically into the system. We focus on enhancing the performance of scheduling algorithm, which W.: based on the following two main ideas. First, we show that the problem to maximize the total reward of dynamic tasks can also be solved by the problem to find minimum of maximum derivatives of reward functions. Secondly, we observed that only a few of scheduled tasks are serviced until a new task arrives, and the rest tasks are rescheduled with the new task. Based on our observation, the Proposed algorithm doesn't schedules all tasks in the system at every scheduling print, but a part of tasks. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified through the simulations for various cases. The simulation result showed that the computational complexity of proposed algorithm is$O(N_2)$ in the worst case which is equal to those of the previous algorithms, but close to O(N) on the average.

Recently, Baruah et.al. proposed an optimal Pfair scheduling algorithm in the hard real-time multiprocessor environments, and several variants of it were presented. All these algorithms assume the fixed unit quantum size, and this assumption has two problems in the mode change environments. If the quantum size is too large, it results in the scheduling failure due to the decreased processor utilization. If it is too small, it increases the frequency of scheduling points, and it incurs the task switching overheads. In this paper, we propose several methods that determine the maximum quantum size dynamically such that the task set can be scheduled in the mode change environments.

This paper proposes a scheduling algorithm for efficiently processing multimedia pakcet services in OFDMA physical system of the future broadband wireless access networks. The scheduling algorithm uses wireless channel state estimation, and allocates transmission rates after deciding transmission ordering based on class and priority policy. As the result, the proposed scheduling algorithm offers maximum throughput and minimum jitter for realtime services, and fairness for non-realtime services. In simulation study, the proposed algorithm proves superior performances than traditional round robin method.

EPLA 패킷 스케줄링 알고리즘은 IEEE 802.22 WRAN 시스템의 실시간 트래픽 전송 지원을 위한 패킷 스케줄링 알고리즘으로 참고문헌[4]으로 제안되었다. 패킷 기반 무선 전송 시스템에서 실시간 트래픽의 경우 짧은 데이터 유효 시간을 가지며, 만약 데이터 유효 시간이 초과할 경우 실시간 트래픽 데이터로써의 가치를 상실하기 때문에 시스템에서는 해당패킷을 전송하지 않고 제거해 버린다. 그러므로 실시간 트래픽의 중요한 서비스 품질(QoS) 인자인 요구된 패킷 손실율을 보장하기 위해서는 실시간 트래픽의 데이터 유효 시간을 고려하여 자원을 할당하여야 한다. 기존의 패킷 스케쥴링 알고리즘들은 많은 경우 큐의 맨 앞에 위치한 패킷의 지연 시간을 고려하지만 EPLA는 패킷이 저장되는 큐 내의 다음 프레임에서 제거 될 것으로 예상되는패킷의 손실양을 고려하여 자인을 할당함으로 기존의 실시간 패킷 스케줄링 알고리즘에 비해 훨씬 좋은 성능을 보인다. 하지만 EPLA는 예상되는 패킷 손실양을 계간하기 위해서 모든 사용자의 큐에 저장된 패킷들을 확인해야하므로 높은 복잡도를 가지는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 사용자로부터 피드백 받은 부채널의 상태 정보를 기반으로 사용자 큐를 확인하여 횟수를 제한함으로써 패킷 손실을 성능의 손실 없이 복잡도를 줄이는 간단한 방법을 제안하고, 실시간 트래픽인 음성 트래픽과 비디오 트래픽에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 이를 확인한다.
