Abstract

We present four new on-line algorithms for servicing soft aperiodic requests in real-time systems, where a set of hard periodic tasks is scheduled using the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) algorithm. All the proposed solutions can achieve full processor utilization and enhance aperiodic responsiveness, still guaranteeing the execution of the periodic tasks. Operation of the algorithms, performance, schedulability analysis, and implementation complexity are discussed and compared with classical alternative solutions, such as background and polling service. Extensive simulations show that algorithms with contained run-time overhead present nearly optimal responsiveness. A valuable contribution of this work is to provide the real-time system designer with a wide range of practical solutions which allow to balance efficiency against implementation complexity.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
