Abstract

We now describe a refinement to the basic [BCL] procedure that was proposed by Lee and Shin, that uses response-times of tasks to further reduce potentially the size of the interval of interest that must be considered. Since these response-times are of course not known prior to performing schedulability analysis, the procedure takes on an iterative flavor—maximum (or minimum) values are estimated for response times of all tasks, and these estimated values are then used to iteratively decrease (or increase) the estimations. The details are described in Sect. 17.1 below. This test, which aggregates clever ideas from many prior tests into an integrated framework, appears to perform the best in schedulability experiments upon randomly generated workloads.

  1. 1.

    A similar relation can be derived for systems without an integer time-domain, using a slightly more complex condition.
