Scheduling is a main issue of real-time systems because it involves meeting the deadlines. In this paper, we address the problem of scheduling a set of periodic tasks on m processors under EDF (Earliest Deadline First) using a partitioned scheme. The allocation problem is transformed into a binary integer linear program. Then, it is solved by applying Geoffrion's version of Balas' additive method, optimized for the real-time scheduling problem. In order to assess the feasibility of the approach for a small size practical problem, some experimental results are shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
