Schedulability analysis of global edf

Real-Time Systems Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The multiprocessor edf scheduling of sporadic task systems is studied. A new sufficient schedulability test is presented and proved correct. It is shown that this test generalizes the previously-known exact uniprocessor edf-schedulability test, and that it offers non-trivial quantitative guarantees (including a resource augmentation bound) on multiprocessors.
