Garbage Collection Scheduling of Aperiodic Tasks

چکیده
⎯In the previous work of garbage collection (GC) models, scheduling analysis was given based on an assumption that there were no aperiodic mutator tasks. However, it is not true in practical real-time systems. The GC algorithm which can schedule aperiodic tasks is proposed, and the variance of live memory is analyzed. In this algorithm, active tasks are deferred to be processed by GC until the states of tasks become inactive, and the saved sporadic server time can be used to schedule aperiodic tasks. Scheduling the sample task sets demonstrates that this algorithm in this paper can schedule aperiodic tasks and decrease GC work. Thus, the GC algorithm proposed is more flexible and portable. Index Terms⎯Aperiodic tasks, garbage collector, real time, scheduling. -

Joint scheduling of garbage collector and hard real-time tasks for embedded applications
Programs with complex data structures often require dynamic memory management based on automatic memory reclamation (garbage collection). A major problem in adopting garbage collection for embedded real-time systems is that it often causes unpredictable pauses and that, as a result of such delays, hard real-time tasks may miss their deadlines. In this paper, we propose a new real-time garbage c...
متن کاملJoint garbage collection and hard real-time scheduling
We analyze the integration of automatic memory management in a real-time context. We focus on integrating a real-time (copying) garbage collector with hard real-time static-priority periodic tasks. This integration is done by considering the copying collector as an aperiodic task served by a polling server. We analyze the schedulability of this system for any polling server parameters. This ana...
متن کاملBounding Worst Case Garbage Collection Time for Embedded Real-Time Systems
Execution of programs with various data structures often requires dynamic memory management based on garbage collection for better productivity, robustness, and program integrity. In spite of its benefits, garbage collection has not been widely used in embedded real-time systems partly because it often causes unpredictable pause delay. Guaranteeing real-time operations with garbage collection a...
متن کاملGarbage Collection Scheduling for Utility Accrual Real-Time Systems
Utility Accrual (UA) scheduling is a method of dynamic real-time scheduling that is designed to respond to overload conditions by producing a feasible schedule that heuristically maximizes a pre-defined metric of utility. Whereas utility accrual schedulers have traditionally focused on CPU overload, this dissertation explores memory overload conditions during which the aggregate memory demand e...
متن کاملExtended Global Dual Priority Algorithm for Multiprocessor Scheduling in Hard Real-Time Systems
In this paper we present a global scheduling method for shared memory multiprocessor systems that provides a fixed-priority preemptive scheduling of periodic tasks, hard aperiodic tasks and soft aperiodic tasks on a set of identical processors. The method is based on the functioning of the Dual Priority Scheduling Algorithm extended to work in a multiprocessor environment. This algorithm guaran...
