متن کاملUtilization based Spare Capacity Distribution
Flexible real-time applications have predefined temporal limits within which they can operate. Real-time systems that support flexible scheduling need a mechanism to distribute spare capacity in a predictable way among the running applications with respect to the applications’ temporal limits and available system resources. This paper introduces a greedy algorithm for spare capacity distributio...
متن کاملCapacity utilization in data envelopment analysis with integer data
