Abstract
Large real-time multimedia systems such as flight simulators have
adopted multiprocessor architecture to handle the large amount of
events and computations. Existing real-time scheduling algorithms
designed for single-processor systems such as Rate
Monotonic (RM) and Earliest Deadline First Algorithm (EDF)
have very poor performance on multiprocessor systems.
Moreover, on-line scheduling algorithms for multiprocessor systems
also have poor schedulability conditions for real-time applications.
In this talk, we present different ways to design real-time applications
on SMP machines.
