  • The real time scheduling is a key research area in high performance computing and has been a source of challenging problems. A periodic task is an infinite sequence of task instance where each job of a task comes in a regular period. The RMS (Rate Monotonic Scheduling) algorithm has the advantage of a strong theoretical foundation and holds out the promise of reducing the need for exhaustive testing of the scheduling. Many real-time systems built in the past based their scheduling on the Cyclic Executive Model because it produces predictable schedules which facilitate exhaustive testing. In this work we propose hybrid scheduling method which combines features of both of these scheduling algorithms. The original rate monotonic scheduling algorithm didn't consider the uniform sampling tasks in the real time systems. We have enumerated some issues when the RMS is applied to our hybrid scheduling method. We found the scheduling bound for the hard real-time systems which include the uniform sampling tasks. The suggested hybrid scheduling algorithm turns out to have some advantages from the point of view of the real time system designer, and is particularly useful in the context of large critical systems. Our algorithm can be useful for real time system designer who must guarantee the hard real time tasks.

  • Real-time systems perform periodic tasks and real-time aperiodic tasks such as alarm processing. Especially the periodic tasks included in control systems such as robots have precedence relationships among them. This paper proposes a new scheduling algorithm based on topological sort and residual time. The precedence relationships among periodic tasks are translated to the priorities of the tasks using topological sort algorithm. During the execution of the system the proposed scheduling algorithm decides on whether or not a newly arrived real-time aperiodic task is accepted based on residual time whenever the aperiodic task such as alarm is arrived. The proposed algorithm is validated using examples.

  • Tasks scheduling have been gaining attention in both industry and research. The scheduling that ensures independent task execution is critical in real-time systems. While task scheduling has gained a lot of attention in recent years, there have been few works that have been implemented into real-time architecture. The efficiency of the classical scheduling strategy in real-time systems, in particular, is still understudied. To reduce total waiting time, we apply three scheduling approaches in this paper: First In/First Out (FIFO), Shortest Execution Time (SET), and Shortest-Longest Execution Time (SLET). Experimental results have demonstrated the efficacy of the SLET in comparison with the others in most cases in a wide range of configurations.

  • When both types of periodic and aperiodic tasks are required to run on a sensor node platform with limited energy resources, we propose an energy-efficient hybrid task scheduling technique that guarantees the deadlines of real-time tasks and provides non-real-time tasks with good average response time. The proposed hybrid task scheduling technique achieved better performance than existing EDF-based DVS scheduling techniques available in the literature, the FIFO-based TinyOS scheduling technique, and the task-clustering based non-preemptive real-time scheduling technique.

  • The camera based object detection systems should satisfy the recognition performance as well as real-time constraints. Particularly, in safety-critical systems such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), the real-time constraints significantly affects the system performance. Recently, multi-core processors and system-on-chip technologies are widely used to accelerate the object detection algorithm by distributing computational loads. However, due to the advanced hardware, the complexity of system architecture is increased even though additional hardwares improve the real-time performance. The increased complexity also cause difficulty in migration of existing algorithms and development of new algorithms. In this paper, to improve real-time performance and design complexity, a task scheduling strategy is proposed for visual object tracking systems. The real-time performance of the vision algorithm is increased by applying pipelining to task scheduling in a multi-core processor. Finally, the proposed task scheduling algorithm is applied to crosswalk detection and tracking system to prove the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

  • Most of the real-time scheduling algorithms assume that all tasks are either preemptive or nonpreemptive. In this paper, we present a real-time scheduling algorithm for the more generalized task model in which each task contains both preemptive and nonpreemptive subtasks in a single processor environment. If the task set is found to be scheduling by the method of Harbour et al, it is also found to be scheduling by the proposed method. A simulation is used ti compare two methods and the result shows the maximum of 45% difference between them in their effectiveness.

  • The imprecise real-time system provides flexibility in scheduling time-critical tasks. Most scheduling problems of satisfying both 0/1 constraint and timing constraints, while the total error is minimized, are NP complete when the optional tasks have arbitrary processing times. Liu suggested a reasonable strategy of scheduling tasks with the 0/1 constraint on uniprocessors for minimizing the total error. Song et al suggested a reasonable strategy of scheduling tasks with the 0/1 constraint on multiprocessors for minimizing the total error. But, these algorithms are all off-line algorithms. On the other hand, in the case of on line scheduling, Shih and Liu proposed the NORA algorithm which can find a schedule with the minimum total error for a task system consisting solely of on-line tasks that are ready upon arrival. But, for the task system with 0/1 constraint, it has not been known whether the NORA algorithm can be optimal or not in the sense that it guarantees all mandatory tasks are completed by their deadlines and the total error is minimized. So, this paper suggests an optimal algorithm to search minimum total error for the imprecise on-line real-time task system with 0/1 constraint. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm has the same complexity, O(N log N), as the NORA algorithm, where N is the number of tasks.

  • Object of a real-time system, that performs exact information based on the real-time constraint. is required for an improvement of high reliability. The fault-tolerant task scheduling strategy of multiprocessor as using a distributed memory based on a hardware redundancy can be improved into a high reliability of the real-time system. Therefore, this paper is shown to analyze the reliability of the system by using the transfer parameter and make the modeling in reference to a minimization of the fault-tolerant task scheduling strategy which uses a percentage of task missing and deadline parameter based on optimization task size.

  • Building wireless sensor networks requires a constituting sensor node to consider the following limited hardware resources: a small battery lifetime limiting available power supply for the sensor node, a low-power microprocessor with a low-performance computing capability, and scarce memory resources. Despite such limited hardware resources of the sensor node, the sensor node platform needs to activate real-time sensing, guarantee the real-time processing of sensing data, and exchange data between individual sensor nodes concurrently. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an energy-efficient real-time task scheduling technique for battery-powered wireless sensor nodes. The proposed energy-efficient task scheduling technique controls the microprocessor's operating frequency and reduces the power consumption of a task by exploiting the slack time of the task when the actual execution time of the task can be less than its worst case execution time. The outcomes from experiments showed that the proposed scheduling technique yielded efficient performance in terms of guaranteeing the completion of real-time tasks within their deadlines and aiming to provide low power consumption.
