Priority Table

Among preemptive real-time uniprocessor scheduling algorithms, many researches, such as optimal and heuristic algorithms, considers only one task attribute and neglects also the variation of attributes. To understand the relations between task attributes and scheduling success ratio, we first define the sensitivity of scheduling success ratio to task attributes. Sensitivity means the intensity of variation of scheduling success ratio as task attributes varies. The paper analyzes the sensitivities of scheduling success ratio to arrival time, execution time, deadline and laxity respectively, which have close relations with scheduling. Based on the definition of sensitivity, we also define attributes influence on scheduling success ratio, which is that the greater the influence, the higher the ratio. The essence of dynamic scheduling is a scheduling based on priority, with each dynamic algorithm matching a priority table, and vice versa. It is also much easier to infer the algorithm from the priority table, which can consider several task attributes. As priority table has various designs, it can correspond to a lot of algorithms, among which, many are inefficient. In order to deal with this kind of problem, we propose a new priority table design PTBM combining deadline and laxity based on the analysis of sensitivity and influence, which makes that a task with small deadline and large laxity has higher priority. We compare PTBM with EDF, LLF and PTD through simulation. The results verify the analysis of sensitivity and influence, and it also shows that PTBM outperforms on scheduling success ratio. It needs further exploration to design more efficient priority table by analyzing more task attributes influence on scheduling success ratio, which includes criticalness, task type and so on.

Blood Pressure Responses

Sex differences in cardiovascular reactivity to stress are well documented, with some studies showing women having greater heart rate responses than men, and men having greater blood pressure responses than women, while other studies show conflicting evidence. Few studies have attended to the gender relevance of tasks employed in these studies. This study investigated cardiovascular reactivity to two interpersonal stressors consistent with different gender roles to determine whether response differences exist between men and women. A total of 26 men and 31 women were assigned to either a traditional male-oriented task that involved interpersonal conflict (Conflict Task) or a traditional female-oriented task that involved comforting another person (Comfort Task). Results demonstrated that women exhibited greater heart rate reactions than men independent of the task type, and that men did not display a higher reactivity than women on any measure. These findings indicate that sex of participant was more important than gender relevance of the task in eliciting sex differences in cardiovascular responding.
