Abstract

Prioritized SMT is a technique that placess a priority to each thread in hardware and the processor resources are preferentially allocated to threads with a high priority. This paper describes real-time task scheduling on Prioritized SMT processors. We propose two algorithms, Direct Priority Mapping (DM) and Shorter Period Upper (SPU), that determine the priorities of the threads. Then the well-known Rate Monotonic (RM) algorithm is combined with the proposed algorithms for scheduling real-time tasks on Prioritized SMT processors. Also we consider a schedula-bility analysis for each algorithm. The simulation study evaluates the deadline miss ratio of the proposed algorithms with ideal-case simulations and register transfer level (RTL) simulations.
