Abstract

We consider variants of Pfair and ER-fair scheduling in which subtasks may be released late, i.e., there may be separation between consecutive windows of the same task. We call such tasks intra-sporadic tasks. There are two main contributions. First, we show the existence of a Pfair (and hence ER-fair) schedule for any intra-sporadic task system whose utilization is at most the number of available processors. Second, we give a polynomial-time algorithm that is optimal for scheduling intra-sporadic tasks in a Pfair or ER-fair manner on systems of one or two processors.
