Abstract

Consider the problem of scheduling a set of periodically arriving tasks on a multiprocessor with the goal of meeting deadlines. Processors are identical and have the same speed. Tasks can be preempted and they can migrate between processors. We propose an algorithm with a utilization bound of 66% and with few preemptions. It can trade a higher utilization bound for more preemptions and in doing so it has a utilization bound of 100%.
