Schedulability Analysis for a Combination of Non-PreemptiveStrict Periodic Tasks and Preemptive Sporadic Tasks

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 1

Abstract

 Abstract: We consider the problem of fixed priority scheduling of non-preemptive strict periodic tasks inconjunction with sporadic preemptive tasks. There are few studies about the scheduling problem combiningthese two kinds of tasks. Moreover, only few results are available on scheduling non-preemptive strict periodictasks since their performance analysis gives low success ratios. Also, strict periodic tasks are of greatimportance since they are in charge for example of sensors/actuators or feedback control functions which areall critical in feedback control systems. Such tasks must have the highest priorities in order to guarantee acorrect behavior of the control system. Preemptive sporadic tasks can be used for non-critical functions andhave lower priorities.We first investigate the scheduling problem of non-preemptive strict periodic tasks byrecalling an existing schedulability condition. This results in defining the first release times of strict periodictasks that preserves the strict periodicity constraints. We show that the schedule of strict periodic tasks canhave transient and permanent phases. Then, assuming that some non-preemptive strict periodic tasks have beenscheduled, we characterize the release times of the sporadic tasks that maximize their worst case responsetimes. We prove that these release times can be restricted to the permanent phase. Finally, for preemptivesporadic tasks, we extend the classical worst case response time computation to take into account nonpreemptivestrict periodic tasks.
