Abstract
This paper focuses on schedulability tests of periodic task sets using fixed- priority scheduling, from a practical point of view. For the special case of task sets with offsets equal to zero (synchronous case), we compare different sufficient schedulability tests for Deadline-Monotonic (DM) scheduling, in terms of complexity and processor utilization. Finally, we consider the general case in which the offsets are arbitrary (asynchronous case). We show by simulation that the DM priority assignment is nearly optimal for asynchronous task sets. In addition, we compare the schedulability improvement of asynchronous task sets over their synchronous versions. Unfortunately, no practical improvement in schedulability is obtained by using the optimal offsets and priorities.
