Compensating for Interrupt Process Times in Real-Time Multimedia Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an on-going work focused on using Adaptive Reservations to cope with unpredictabilities due to the interrupt processing times in real-time kernels. Using this approach, the execution time stolen by interrupt processing is modeled as a variation in the application execution times, and an adaptive scheduling mechanism automatically compensates its effects.

Applying the engineering statechart formalism to the evaluation of soft real-time in operating systems: a use case tailored modeling and analysis technique
Multimedia applications that have emerged in recent years impose unique requirements on an underlying general purpose operating system (GPOS). The suitability of a GPOS for multimedia processing is judged by its soft real-time capabilities. To date, the question of how these capabilities can be assessed has scarcely been addressed: this is a gap in GPOS research. By answering questions on the i...
متن کاملReal-Time Operating Systems: Problems and Novel Solutions
This work presents some methodologies for enhancing predictability in real-time computing systems, where explicit timing constraints have to be enforced on application processes. In order to provide an off-line guarantee of the critical timing constraints, deterministic and analyzable algorithms are required in all kernel mechanisms, especially involving scheduling, inter-task communication, sy...
متن کاملTransparent and Selective Real-Time Interrupt Services for Performance Improvement
The popularity of mobile and multimedia applications made real-time support a mandatory feature for embedded operating systems. However, the current situation is that the overall performance is significantly degraded due to the real-time support. This paper suggests a novel scheme to minimize the performance degradation in embedded operating systems with real-time support. Especially, we propos...
متن کاملPredictable Management of System Resources for Linux
In current operating systems, a process acts both as a protection domain and as a resource principal. This may not be the right model as a user may like to see a set of processes or a sub activity in a process as a resource principal. Another problem is that much of the processing may happen in the interrupt context, and they will not be accounted for properly. Resource Containers[1] have been ...
متن کاملPlayback Performancewith Competitive Process
While many researchers believe that multimedia applications are best managed with hard, real-time scheduling mechanisms, models based on application-level adaptation with relaxed scheduling constraints are gaining acceptance. We analyze an existing video conferencing application, which was designed without explicit support for CPU resource management, and propose modiications to its architectur...
