Abstract

Given a collection of tasks that comprise the software for a real-time system, and a collection of available processing units of different kinds upon which to execute them, the heterogeneous multiprocessor partitioning problem is concerned with determining whether the given tasks can be partitioned among the available processing units in such a manner that all timing constraints are met. It is known that this problem is intractable; efficient implementations of sufficient (albeit not necessary) partitioning algorithms are presented here, and proved correct.
