User-Level Real-Time Threads
نویسندگان
چکیده
Continuous-media applications require more efficient and flexible support from real-time threads than traditional real-time systems. It includes functionalities such as the dynamic management of thread attributes and the support of multiple thread models. In this paper, we will describe the design and implementation of user-level real-time threads on the RT-Mach micro kernel. Since they are implemented at user-level, both of the fast management of thread attributes and the support of multiple thread models are possible.

Efficient timing management for user-level real-time threads
Timing management for user-level real-time threads can be done with appropriate support of the kernel. When a specified time comes, the kernel makes a virtual processor to upcall a user-level scheduler for its timing management. Then, the timing management can suffer from the overhead of a user-level scheduler. This paper presents an efficient timing management mechanism for user-level real-tim...
متن کاملUser-level multithreading architecture for real-time systems: The Arx approach
In real-time systems, it becomes imperative to support preemptive multithreading at a low cost in order to timely respond to high priority asynchronous events. Although user-level threads provide more exible abstraction with lower overhead than kernel-level threads, kernel-level threads are more favored in real-time systems due to their simpler thread scheduling and signal handling. In this pap...

متن کاملA Multithreading Platform for Multimedia Applications
Complex multimedia applications have diverse resource and timing requirements. A platform for building such programs therefore should supply the developer with mechanisms for managing concurrency, communication, and real-time constraints but should remain flexible with regard to scheduling policies and interaction models. We have developed such a platform consisting of a user-level threads pack...
