Abstract

A multiprocessor scheduling scheme is presented forsupporting hierarchical containers that encapsulate spo-radic soft and hard real-time tasks. In this scheme, eachcontainer is allocated a specified bandwidth, which it usesto schedule its children (some of which may also be con-tainers). This scheme is novel in that, with only soft real-time tasks, no utilization loss is incurred when provisioningcontainers, even in arbitrarily deep hierarchies. Presentedexperiments show that the proposed scheme performs wellcompared to conventional real-time scheduling techniquesthat do not provide container isolation.
