An integrated DBP for streams with (m, k)-firm real-time guarantee.

چکیده
(m, k)-firm real-time or weakly hard real-time (WHRT) guarantee is becoming attractive as it closes the gap between hard and soft (or probabilistic) real-time guarantee, and enables finer granularity of real-time QoS through adjusting m and k. For multiple streams with (m, k)-firm constraint sharing a single server, an on-line priority assignment policy based on the most recent k-length history of each stream called distance based priority (DBP) has been proposed to assign priority. In case of priority equality among these head-of-queue instances, Earliest Deadline First (EDF) is used. Under the context of WHRT schedule theory, DBP is the most popular, gets much attention and has many applications due to its straightforward priority assignment policy and easy implementation. However, DBP combined with EDF cannot always provide good performance, mainly because the initial DBP does not underline the rich information on deadline met/missed distribution, specially streams in various failure states which will travel different distances to restore success states. Considering how to effectively restore the success state of each individual stream from a failure state, an integrated DBP utilizing deadline met/missed distribution is proposed in this paper. Simulation results validated the performance improvement of this proposal.

Matrix-DBP For (m, k)-firm Real-Time Guarantee
1 (m, k)-firm means at least m deadlines should be met among any k consecutive task invocations or message transmissions. Providing (m, k)-firm guarantee is becoming attractive as it proposes an alternative between hard real-time guarantee (case of m = k) and soft (or probabilistic) real-time guarantee with p = m/k (when m, k → ∞) and allows more effective utilization of server resources (proce...
متن کاملAn integrated heuristic for best effort scheduling of (m,k)-firm streams in point-to-point networks
In point-to-point networks, real-time services are supported by sending real-time streams over guaranteed or best-effort channels [1]. A stream consists of packets moving across individual links on the point-topoint network from a given source to destination. For each link, a scheduler is responsible for determining which packets shall be transmitted according the queue of packets stored. For s...

— As the technology of multimedia sensor networks is desired in large numbers of applications nowadays, real-time service becomes one of the most important research challenges. Even though lots of related works have been conducted to meet this requirement in several ways, the specific traffic model for real-time has not been taken yet. Thus, it causes lack of adaptability of those approaches in...
متن کاملEvaluating Dynamic Failure Probability for Streams with (m, k)-Firm Deadlines
A real-time stream is said to have (m, k)-firm deadlines if at least m out of any k consecutive customers from the stream must meet their respective deadlines. Such a stream is said to have encountered a dynamic failure if fewer than m out of any k consecutive customers meet their deadlines. Hamdaoui and Ramanathan recently proposed a scheduling policy called Distance Based Priority (DBP) in wh...
متن کاملProviding Real-Time Applications With Graceful Degradation of QoS and Fault Tolerance According to(m, k)-Firm Model
(m,k)-firm model has recently drawn a lot of attention. It provides a flexible real-time system with graceful degradation of the QoS, thus achieving the fault tolerance in case of system overload. In this paper we first give a review of the existing work on the use of the (m,k)-firm model for handling the QoS and fault tolerance management. Then we focus on DBP algorithm as it presents the inte...
