Abstract

This paper deals with task scheduling in heterogeneous distributed embedded computer environments of renewable and timing variable resources. Real-time application performance can be considerably influenced by unexpected events in the environment. The predictive-reactive rescheduling procedure can enable significant improvements. The rescheduling procedure based on multiple server tasks enables usage of one's own resources, but also a fast connection to nodes with appropriate performance that will soften the influence of disturbances. We developed a tool that enables simulation of application execution conditions for a given environment and extraction of better scheduling parameter settings. Numerous scheduling parameters are improved with an increase in the number of nodes available for rescheduling. We also investigate cost-effectiveness of the method based on rescheduling time cost. The results demonstrate a possibility of achieving performance improvement by tuning cost parameters.
