Abstract

The real-time situations in this chapter have these properties in common:

  • Fixed-priority scheduling with no operating system overhead. We have perfect preemption; that is, when a task “ wakes up” from its suspension, it either has a higher priority than the currently executing task and thus preempts it instantaneously, or has a lower priority and is instantaneously placed into the task-ready queue.

  • CPU and data are the only resources under contention.

  • Real-time situations are confined to a uniprocessor.

For an overview of the relationship between the framework, real-time situations, and techniques, please see page 1-4.
