The Stack Resource Policy (SRP) is a real-time synchronization protocol with some distinct properties. One of such properties is early blocking; the execution of a job is delayed instead of being blocked when requesting shared resources. If SRP is used with dynamic priority scheduling such as Earliest Deadline First (EDF), the early blocking requires that a scheduler should select the highest-priority job among the jobs that will not be blocked, incurring runtime overhead. In this paper, we analyze the runtime overhead of EDF scheduling when SRP is used. We find out that the overhead of job search using the conventional implementations of ready queue and job search algorithms becomes serious as the number of jobs increases. To solve this problem, we propose an alternative data structure for the ready queue and an efficient job-search algorithm with O([log$_2n$]) time complexity.

실시간 스케줄러는 대역폭, 필요 버퍼량 등과 같은 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 이용하면서 한정된 통신지연(bounded delay)을 제공해야 한다. 최근 이러한 제한 조건을 만족시키기 위해서 많은 스케줄링 방법론이 제시되었다. 그중EDF 스케줄링 방법론이 최적의 성능을 갖는 것으로 알려져있다. 그러나 EDF스케줄링 방법론은 "sort"나 "search"와 같은 연산작업을 수행함으로서, 과다한 오버헤드를 발생시킨다. Rotating Priority Queues(RPQ) 스케줄러는 EDF 연산 작업 없이 EDF스케줄러에 근접한 성능을 갖는 스케줄러이다. 그러나 RPQ스케줄러는 과다한 버퍼량을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제저？ㄹ 해결하기위해서 Multiple Rotating Priority Queues(MRPQ)스케줄러를 제시한다. MRPQ스케줄러는"blick queue"라는 새로운 개념을 이용하여 회전 우선 순위 queue를 다중 계츨으로 구성한다. 이렇게 구성된 MRPQ 스케줄러는 RPQ스케줄러에서 필요한 버퍼량의 반정도의 버퍼량만을 사용하여 RPQ스케줄러와 동일한 동작을 수행한다. 또한 MRPQ스케줄러는 RPQ스케줄러와 동일한 최대 지연시간을 제공한다.러는 RPQ스케줄러와 동일한 최대 지연시간을 제공한다.

For Video on Demand(VoD) servers, a design of an efficient scheduler is important to the support a large number of clients having various playback speeds and receiving rates. In this paper, we propose the scheduling algorithm to handle establishing deadlines and selection using the earliest deadline first. To establish deadlines and selections, the period of the receiving rates for each client is located between the over-max receiving rate and the over-playback rate. To avoid video starvation and the buffer overflow of each client, the proposed algorithm guarantees providing the admission control. Because of establishing deadlines and selection, period of each client receiving is between one over max receiving rate and one over play back rate. Using Virtual Buffer in server, scheduling load is reduced. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is verified using a Petri Net_Based simulation tool, Exspect.

본 논문에서는 인터넷 종단 호스트에서 공유 자원의 대역폭 제약조건과 종료시한 제악조건 모두를 만족시킬 수 있는 자원 할당 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 구조는 두 단계로 구성된다. 상위 단계에서는 비례 분배 스케줄러(proportional share scheduler)인 EFT-C/D (Earliest Finish Time Credit/Debit) 스케줄러가 수행된다. 이 스케줄러는 CPU와 같은 시분할 공유 자원을 하위 단계 스케줄러들에게 지정된 비율로 분배하는 역할을 한다. 그리고 하위 단계에서는 서로 다른 시간 제약조건이 부여된 태스크들을 스케줄링 하기위해 다양한 실시간 스케줄러가 수행된다. 본 연구의 주요 성과는 두 가지로 요약된다. 첫째, 이상적인 GPS (Generalized Processor Sharing) 서버와 거의 동등한 수준으로 자원을 공평하게 분배하는 EFT-C/D 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 둘째, 하위 단계에서 수행되는 EDF 스케줄러에 대해 이용율(utilization)에 기반한 스케룰링 가능성 분석 방법을 개발하였다. 이 방법은 주어진 태스크 집합에 대해 단순히 이용율만을 계산하여 스케줄링 가능성을 판별할 수 있다. 따라서 새로운 태스크가 생성될 때 수락 여부를 시스템 수행 중에 제어할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

As the range of sensor network's applicability is getting wider, it creates new application areas which is required real-time operation, such as military and detection of radioactivity. However, existing researches are focused on effective management for resources, existing sensor network operating system cannot support to real-time areas. In this paper, we propose the ${\mu}TMO$ model which is lightweight real-time distributed object model TMO. We design the real-time sensor network operation system ${\mu}TMO-NanoQ+$ which is based on ETRI's sensor network operation system Nano-Q+. We modify the Nano-Q+'s timer module to support high resolution and apply Context Switch Threshold, Power Aware scheduling techniques to realize lightweight scheduler which is based on EDF. We also implement channel based communication way ITC-Channel and periodic thread management module WTMT.

Peak power reduction is becoming increasingly important not only for grid operators but also for residential users. The scheduling of electric loads tries to reduce the power peak by splitting the power-on period of an electric device into multiple smaller ones and by interleaving the on-periods of every device in a holistic way. This paper analyzes the performance of EDF, LSF, TCBM, and lazy scheduling algorithms and proposes the enhancement schemes. For analysis, we have implemented the scheduling policies in a simulation environment for distributed control systems. Through extensive experiments using real power traces, we discuss their performance characteristics in terms of power deviation, switch count, and temperature violation ratio. To prevent excessive switching, we propose to employ the concept of limited preemptibility and evaluate its effect on performance. It is found that the best performance is achieved when the scheduler capacity is dynamically adjusted to the actual power demand. The experiment results show that, by load scheduling, the probability of having a power deviation greater than 150W is reduced from 21.5% down to 3.2%.

In this paper, we design and construct a TMO object group that provides the guaranteed real-time services in the distributed object computing environments, and verify execution power of its model for the correct distributed real-time services. The TMO object group we suggested is based on TINA's object group concept. This model consists of TMO objects having real-time properties and some components that support the object management service and the real-time scheduling service in the TMO object group. Also TMO objects can be duplicated or non-duplicated on distributed systems. Our model can execute the guaranteed distributed real-time service on COTS middlewares without restricting the specially ORB or the of operating system. For achieving goals of our model. we defined the concepts of the TMO object and the structure of the TMO object group. Also we designed and implemented the functions and interactions of components in the object group. The TMO object group includes the Dynamic Binder object and the Scheduler object for supporting the object management service and the real-time scheduling service, respectively The Dynamic Binder object supports the dynamic binding service that selects the appropriate one out of the duplicated TMO objects for the clients'request. And the Scheduler object supports the real-time scheduling service that determines the priority of tasks executed by an arbitrary TMO object for the clients'service requests. And then, in order to verify the executions of our model, we implemented the Dynamic Binder object and the Scheduler object adopting the binding priority algorithm for the dynamic binding service and the EDF algorithm for the real-time scheduling service from extending the existing known algorithms. Finally, from the numerical analyzed results we are shown, we verified whether our TMO object group model could support dynamic binding service for duplicated or non-duplicated TMO objects, also real-time scheduling service for an arbitrary TMO object requested from clients.

A message processor is server software that receives non-realtime messages as well as realtime messages from clients that need to be processed within a deadline. With the recent advances of micro-processor technologies and Linux, the message processor is often implemented in Linux-based multi-core servers and it is important to use cores efficiently to maximize the performance of system in multi-core environments. Numerous research efforts on a real-time scheduler for the efficient utilization of the multi-core environments have been conducted. Typically, though, they have been conducted theoretically or via simulation, making a subsequent real-system application difficult. Moreover, many Linux-based real-time schedulers can only be used in a specific Linux version, or the Linux source code needs to be modified. This paper presents the design of a Linux-based message processor for multi-core environments that maps the threads to the cores at user level. The message processor is implemented through a modification of the traditional RM algorithm that consolidates the real-time messages into certain cores using a first-fit-based bin-packing algorithm; this minimizes the response-time delay of the non-real-time messages, while guaranteeing the violation rate of the real-time messages. To compare the performances, the message processor was implemented using the two multi-core-scheduling algorithms GSN-EDF and P-FP, which are provided by the LITMUS framework. The benchmarking results show that the response-time delay of non-real-time messages in the proposed system was improved up to a maximum of 17% to 18%.
