Abstract

Mixed-Criticality Scheduling (MCS) is an effective approach to addressing diverse certification requirements of safety-critical systems that integrate multiple subsystems with different levels of criticality. Preemption Threshold Scheduling (PTS) is a well-known technique for controlling the degree of preemption, ranging from fully-preemptive to fully-non-preemptive scheduling. We present schedulability analysis algorithms to enable integration of PTS with MCS, in order to bring the rich benefits of PTS into MCS, including minimizing the application stack space requirement, reducing the number of runtime task preemptions, and improving schedulability.
