Abstract

We present a polynomial time approximation scheme for thereal-time scheduling problem with fixed priorities whenresource augmentation is allowed. For a fixedε 0, our algorithm computes an assignmentusing at most (1 + ε)·OPT + 1processors in polynomial time, which is feasible if the processorshave speed 1 + ε. We also show that, unlessP = NP, there does not exist an asymptotic FPTASfor this problem.
