Abstract

Our work presents a micro-genetic algorithm (micro-GA) approach to window-constrained scheduling, suitable for weakly hard real-time systems. Earlier, Virtual deadline scheduling algorithm (VDS) is capable of generating a feasible window-constraint schedule that utilizes 100% of resources. But updating the service constraints for each job is required which is a bottleneck for the algorithm. In our work, micro-GA is able to generate a feasible window-constraint schedule that utilizes 100% resources. It does not have the problem of updating the service constraints. The mean service delays are reduced in the schedule produced by micro-GA. It also addresses the problem of context switch which is a conflicting criterion with delay and not addressed by VDS. Additionally, it is capable of producing a feasible window-constraint schedule when the service time of jobs varies and when the request period is not a multiple of service time.
