This paper proposes a mechanism for managing overload in real-time web service system. The many previous mechanisms manage overload with controlling web request. These mechanisms can control only new web request. They don't have any control existing tasks, especially periodic tasks. We design a controller that able to meet real-time performance with controlling even periodic tasks. A feedback control system is implemented applying the proposed mechanism. And we verified the stable operation of system.

In this paper, we propose a real-time sensor node platform that efficiently manages periodic and aperiodic tasks. Since existing sensor node platforms available in literature focus on minimizing the usage of memory and power consumptions, they are not capable of supporting the management of tasks that need their real-time execution and fast average response time. We first analyze how to structure periodic or aperiodic task decomposition in the TinyOS-based sensor node platform as regard to guaranteeing the deadlines of ail the periodic tasks and aiming to providing aperiodic tasks with average good response time. Then we present the application and efficiency of the proposed real-time sensor node platform in the sensor node equipped with a low-power 8-bit microcontroller, an IEEE802.15.4 compliant 2.4GHz RF transceiver, and several sensors. Extensive experiments show that our sensor node platform yields efficient performance in terms of three significant, objective goals: deadline miss ratio of periodic tasks, average response time of aperiodic tasks, and processor utilization of periodic and aperiodic tasks.

다중처리기 상에서 실시간 태스크 스케줄링에 대한 연구가 현재 많이 수행되고 있지만, 주로 Pfair(P-fairness)와 EDF(Earliest Deadline First) 알고리즘에 대한 연구이다. Pfair는 이론적인 연구에 초점을 두고 있으며, EDF는 처리기들을 효율적으로 이용하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중처리기 상의 주기적인 실시간 태스크 집합을 대상으로, LLA(Least Laxity Algorithm) 알고리즘이 높은 스케줄링 가능성(schedulability)을 가짐을 먼저 보인다. 다음으로 기존 알고리즘들의 문제점을 보완하기 위해 EDF와 LLA를 결합한 ED/LL(Earliest Deadline/Least Laxity)이라는 알고리즘을 제시한다. ED/LL은 LLA보다 문맥교환 횟수는 적고 EDF보다 스케줄링 가능성이 높으며, 구현 오버헤드도 크지 않다.

This paper presents an analysis on the optimal partitioning configuration of cache (memory) for meeting deadlines of periodic and aperiodic real-time task set. Our goal is not only to decrease the deadline missing ratio of each task by minimizing the task utilization, but also to allocate another tasks to idle spaces of cache. For this reason, we suggest an algorithm so that tasks could be allocated to cache segments. Here, the set of cache segments allocated tasks is called a cache partitioning configuration. Based on how tasks allocate to cache segments, we can get various cache partitioning configurations. From these configurations, we obtain the boundary of task utilization that tasks are possible to schedule, and analyze the cache optimal partitioning configuration that can be executed to minimize the task utilization.

임베디드 소프트웨어는 국방, 항공 우주, 자동차와 같이 다양한 응용분야에서 그 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 이와 함께 시스템 자원의 효율성을 높이고 응용 소프트웨어 간 안전한 실행환경을 제공하기 위해서 자원 파티셔닝의 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 최근 임베디드 시스템의 응용 분야가 다양해지면서 주기적인 파티션과 함께 비주기적인 파티션들에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 기존 시스템들은 비주기적인 파티션은 고려하고 있지 않거나, 주기적인 파티션에 비해서 우선순위가 낮게 취급하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문은 높은 우선순위의 비주기적인 태스크 그룹을 지원하기 위한 구조를 제안하고, 리눅스의 cgroup 프레임워크를 확장하여 구현한다.

Digital controllers found in many industrial real-time systems consist of a number of interacting periodic tasks. To sustain the required control quality, these tasks possess the maximum activation periods as performance constraints. An essential step in developing a real-time system is thus to assign each of these tasks a constant period such that the maximum activation requirements are met while the system utilization is minimized [1]. Given a task graph design allowing producer/consumer relationships among tasks [2], resource demands of tasks, and range constraints on periods, the period assignment problem falls into a class of nonlinear optimization problems. This paper proposes a ploynomial time approximation algorithm which produces a solution whose utilization does not exceed twice the optimal utilization. Our experimental analysis shows that the proposed algorithm finds solutions which are very close to the optimal ones in most cases of practical interest.

In case of scheduling tasks with shared resources in multiprocessor systems, Global Earliest Deadline First (GEDF) algorithm, equally applied Earliest Deadline First (EDF) which runs scheduling with deadline criterion, makes schedulability decline because GEDF typically does not have a specific process in order to handle tasks with shared resources. In this paper, we propose Earliest Deadline First with Partitioning (EDFP) for tasks with shared resources which partitions a task into two kinds of subtasks that include critical sections to access to shared resources, gives their own deadline respectively and manages them. As a result of simulations, EDFP shows better performance than GEDF for tasks with shared resources since system load goes up and the number of processor increases.

혼합 중요도(mixed criticality) 시스템은 안전에 중요한 기능을 우선시하도록 하는 추가적인 안전 요구사항이 존재한다. 그러나 기존 실시간 시스템의 설계로는 이를 만족하지 못하며, 높은 중요도 태스크가 다른 낮은 중요도 태스크로부터 간섭을 받아 데드라인 미스와 같은 문제를 일으키는 중요도 역전(criticality inversion) 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 중요도 역전 문제를 해결하기 위해 주기 변환(period transformation) 기법을 사용할 수 있지만, 스케줄링 오버헤드의 증가로 인해 오히려 전반적인 태스크의 응답시간이 증가하는 또 다른 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 주기 변환과 스케줄링 오버헤드 간의 트레이드오프 관계를 설명하고, 실시간 리눅스 시스템에서 해당 문제점을 재연한 후 주기 변환의 적정선을 분석하고자 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 중요도 역전 문제를 해결하기 위한 주기 변환을 그대로 적용할 경우, 문맥 교환이 48.7% 증가 및 스케줄링 오버헤드가 28.7% 증가로 인해 전반적인 응답시간이 증가하여 데드라인 미스가 다수 발생하는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

For real-time applications, the underlying operating system (0S) should support timeliness guarantees of real-time tasks. However, most of current operating systems do not provide timely management facilities in an efficient way. There could be two approaches to support timely management facilities for real-time applications: (1) by modifying 0S kernel and (2) by Providing a middleware without modifying 0S. In our approach, we adopted the middleware approach based on the TMO (Time-triggerred Message-triggered Object) model which is a well-known real-tine object model. The middleware, named TMSOM (TMO Support Middleware) has been implemented on various OSes such as Linux and Windows XP/NT/98. In this paper, we mainly consider TMOSM implemented on Linux(TMOS/Linux). Although the real-time schedul-ing aIgorithm used in current TMOSM/Linux can produce an efficient real-time schedule, it can be improved for periodic real-time tasks by considering several factors. In this paper, we discuss those factors and propose an improved real-time scheduling algorithm for periodic real-time tasks, In order to simulate the performance of our algorithm, we measure timeliness guarantee rate for periodic real-time tasks. The result shows that the performance of our algorithm is superior to that of existing algorithm. Additionally, the proposed algorithm can improve system performance by making the structure of real-time middleware simpler.

This paper presents the deadline driven CPU-Power management scheme for the Real-Time Embedded OS: named TMO-eCos. It used the scheduling scenarios generated by a task serialization technique for hard real- time TMO system. The serializer does a off-line analysis at design time with period, deadline and WCET of periodic tasks. Finally, TMO-eCos kernel controls the CPU speed to save the power consumption under the condition that periodic tasks do not violate deadlines. As a result, the system shows a reasonable amount of power saving. This paper presents all of these processes and test results.
