An adaptive server-based scheduling framework with capacity reclaiming and borrowing

摘要

In this paper, we present a new reservation based scheduling framework for soft real-time systems using EDF algorithm (called CARB-EDF). This framework has the features of Capacity Adaptation, Reclaiming and Borrowing. This framework can simplify the initial configuration of the system, where the system designer does not need to provide any estimations of task execution times. We also present a Chebyshev's inequality based predictor to estimate task execution times. A number of simulation-based experiments have been implemented. According to the results compared with some related works, our scheduling framework can provide a better performance with acceptable extra scheduling overhead.
