Abstract

The case where multiple control tasks share one embedded CPU is considered. For various reasons, both execution times of these tasks and CPU workload are uncertain and imprecise. To attack this issue, a fuzzy logic based feedback scheduling approach is suggested. The sampling periods of control tasks are periodically adjusted with respect to uncertain resource availability. A simple period rescaling algorithm is employed, and the available CPU resource is dynamically allocated in an intelligent fashion. Thanks to the inherent capacity of fuzzy logic to formalize control algorithms that can tolerate imprecision and uncertainty, the proposed approach provides runtime flexibility to quality of control (QoC) management. Preliminary simulations highlight the benefits of the fuzzy logic based feedback scheduler.
