Abstract

Real time scheduling algorithms like RM and EDF have been analyzed extensively in the literature. Many recent works on scheduling address energy consumption as a performance metric. In this work we analyze priority scheduling algorithms RM, EDF, and LLF along with a few power-aware scheduling algorithms: MLLF, RM_RCS and EDF_RCS. Our analysis addresses the following metrics: response time, response time jitter, latency, time complexity, preemptions, and energy consumption. We extend past work in this direction by characterizing the performance of the scheduling algorithms -- theoretically as well as experimentally. Results of our analysis can be used to control design choices for real time systems.
