This paper presents an approach for scheduling network messages with real-time dynamic algorithms. We present the method that calculates an intermediate relative deadline of the message based on the EDF(Earliest Deadline First) scheduling policy. We adjust the slack of message by using this intermediate relative deadline to allocate a priority of message. The priority of the message can be determined accurately by using the slack that calculates in our approach, which increases the schedulability efficiency of the message. As a result, we reduce the worst-case response time and improve the guarantee ratio of real-time messages. Also, we describe the analysis method to check the schedulability on message sets, and show the efficiency of our approach by comparing the results of the DM(Deadline Monotonic) approach and the existing EDF approach with that of the improved EDF in our approach through the simulation.

In this paper, we propose a scheduling scheme that can efficiently serve I/O requests having deadlines in flash storage. The I/O requests with deadlines, namely, real-time requests, are assumed to be issued for streaming services of continuous media. Since a Web-based streaming server commonly supports downloads of HTMLs or images, we also aim to quickly process non-real-time I/O requests, together with real-time ones. For this purpose, we adopt the well-known rate-reservation EDF (RR-EDF) algorithm for determining scheduling priorities among mixed I/O requests. In fact, for the use of an EDF-style algorithm, overhead of task's switching should be low and predictable, as with its application of CPU scheduling. In other words, the EDF algorithm is inherently unsuitable for scheduling I/O requests in HDD storage because of highly varying latency times of HDD. Unlike HDD, time for reading a block in flash storage is almost uniform with respect to its physical location. This is because flash storage has no mechanical component, differently from HDD. By capitalizing on this uniform block read time, we compute bandwidth utilization rates of real-time requests from streams. Then, the RR-EDF algorithm is applied for determining how much storage bandwidth can be assigned to non-real-time requests, while meeting deadlines of real-time requests. From this, we can improve the service times of non-real-time requests, which are issued for downloads of static files. Because the proposed scheme can expand flexibly the scheduling periods of streams, it can provide a full usage of slack times, thereby improving the overall throughput of flash storage significantly.

Multiprocessor architecture becomes increasingly common on real-time systems as computer hardware technology rapidly progresses and the workload of real-time systems increases. However, efficient solutions for many real-time multiprocessor scheduling problems are not known. Hence many researchers apply uniprocessor scheduling algorithms to multiprocessor scheduling or devise new algorithms based on these algorithms. Such algorithms are EDF (Earliest Deadline First), LLF (Least Laxity First), EDF-US[m/(2m-1)], and EDZL (Earliest Deadline Zero Laxity), and comparative studies on them are necessary. In this paper, we show the dominance relation of these algorithms with respect to schedulability, and we prove EDZL strictly dominates EDF. The simulation results show that EDZL has high processor utilization and it causes a small number of preemptions.

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.

In this paper, an effective task scheduling scheme was proposed for the flexible real time LINUX systems with the selection between EDF(earliest deadline first) and RMS(rate monotonic scheduling). It was known that many task scheduling schemes were analyzed according to the characteristics of scheduling schemes and the guarantee of an earliest deadline scheduler for process utilities.

Packet schedulers for real-time communication must provide bounded delay and efficient use of network resources such as bandwidth, buffers and so on. In order to satisfy them, a large number of packet scheduling methods have been proposed. Among packet scheduling methods, an EDF (Earliest Deadline First) scheduling is the optimal one for a bounded delay service. A disadvantage of EDF scheduling is that queued packets must be sorted according to their deadlines, requiring a search operation whenever a new packet arrives at the scheduler. Although an RPQ (Rotating Priority Queue) scheduler, requiring large size of buffers, does not use such operation, it can closely approximate the schedulability of an EDF scheduler. To overcome the buffer size problem of an RPQ scheduler, this paper proposes a new scheduler named MRPQ (Multiple Rotating Priority Queue). In a MRPQ scheduler, there are several layers with a set of Queues. In a layer, Queues are configured by using a new strategy named block Queue. A MRPQ scheduler needs nearly half of buffer size required in an RPQ scheduler and produces schedulability as good as an RPQ scheduler.

The Rate Monotonic(RM) scheduling algorithm and Earliest Deadline First(EDF) scheduling algorithm are normally used in Real-Time scheduling algorithm. In those scheduling algorithm, we could predict the performance possibility with total utilization value of task group. But. it had problems with prediction of the boundedness in individual task when the utilization value was over in temporary task. In this paper, the suggested scheduling algorithm can predict task when the utilization value was over and it suggested the method of predicting scheduling possibility based on the utilization value of individual task as well. it predicted the boundedness of scheduling possibility test through simulation In Real-Time scheduling algorithm and analyzed the result.

The confluence of computers, communications, and databases is quickly creating a distributed database where many applications require real-time access to temporally consistent sensor data. We have developed an object-oriented real-time database system called BeeHive to provide a significant improvement in performance and functionality over conventional non-real-time database and object management systems. In this paper, the performance of two data-deadline cognizant scheduling policies EDDF and EDF-DC and the baseline EDF policy with/without admission control are evaluated through extensive experiments on BeeHive. The ranges where data-deadline cognizant scheduling policies are effective and where admission control plays a role are identified.

This paper presents an EDF based scheduling algorithm for scheduling imprecise computation model where each task consists of mandatory part and optional part. Imprecise computation is useful to manage overload condition. In overload situation, some optional parts should be removed. The proposed DOP algorithm removes optional parts of earlier deadline tasks to enhance flexibly for newly arriving tasks. A simulation result shows that DOP has better performance than other algorithms.

By now, Schedulers for RMS and EDF are implemented for real-time Linux Scheduler. These Schedulers are used for do not consider there's characteristics. Missing Schedulability-test cause result that increase deadline miss rate. Also The present real-time Linux causes system halt Because of scheduling for unschedulable tasks . These appearances are very fatal for real-time system. Therefor, In this paper The peaceful schedulability-test use scheduler which is proper characteristics of RMS and EDF scheduling methods. This scheduler keeps deadline and eliminates system halt from scheduling unschedulable tasks. In this paper, we propose the schedulability-test algorithm and scheduler select algorithm for the effective management of tasks sets.
