Partitioning Real-Time Systems on Multiprocessors with Shared Resources

摘要

In this paper we propose a blocking-aware partitioning algorithm which allocates a task set on a multiprocessor (multi-core) platform in a way that the overall amount of blocking times of tasks are decreased. The algorithm reduces the total utilization which, in turn, has the potential to decrease the total number of required processors (cores). In this paper we evaluate our algorithm and compare it with an existing similar algorithm. The comparison criteria includes both number of schedulable systems as well as processor reduction performance.
