Abstract

Extended T-N Plane Abstraction (E-TNPA) proposed inthis paper realizes work-conserving and efficient optimalreal-time scheduling on multiprocessors relative to the originalT-N Plane Abstraction (TNPA). Additionally a schedulingalgorithm named NVNLF (No Virtual Nodal LaxityFirst) is presented for E-TNPA. E-TNPA and NVNLF relaxthe restrictions of TNPA and the traditional algorithmLNREF, respectively. Arbitrary tasks can be preferentiallyexecuted by both tie-breaking rules and time apportionmentpolicies in accordance with various system requirementswith several restrictions. Simulation results show that E-TNPAsignificantly reduces the number of task preemptionsas compared to TNPA.
