International audience We consider hard real-time systems composed of periodic tasks and of an aperiodic flow. Each task, either periodic or aperiodic, has a firm deadline. An aperiodic task is accepted within the system only if it can be completed before its deadline, without causing temporal failures for the periodic tasks or for the previously accepted aperiodic tasks. We propose an acceptance test, linear in the number of pending accepted aperiodic tasks. This protocol can be used provided the idle slots left by the periodic tasks are fairly distributed. We then propose a model-driven approach, based on Petri nets, to produce schedules with a fair distribution of the idle slots for systems of non independent periodic tasks. Nous considérons des systèmes temps-réel composés de tâches périodiques et d’un fluxapériodique. Toutes les tâches, périodiques comme apériodiques, sont soumises à des échéancesstrictes. Une tâche apériodique n’est acceptée que si elle ne remet pas en cause le respect deséchéances par les tâches périodiques et par les tâches apériodiques déjà acceptées. Nous proposonsun protocole d’acceptation des tâches apériodiques de complexité linéaire en le nombre de tâchesapériodiques acceptées présentes dans le système. Ce protocle est utilisable dès lors que les tempscreux sont répartis de manière équitable. Nous proposons donc une approche modèle, à base deréseaux de Petri, pour produire des séquences où les temps creux sont équitablement répartis, pourdes systèmes de tâches interdépendantes.

In real-time systems, periodic tasks and aperiodic tasks exist simultaneously. In a uniprocessor system, mainly there are Deferrable Server algorithm (DS) [1], Slack Stealing algorithm (SSA) [2] and their extended version for software/hardware hybrid real-time task scheduling. DS algorithm sets a high priority periodic task server to provide services for aperiodic tasks, while SSA algorithm computes tasks unoccupied time offline, and then schedule aperiodic tasks during the unoccupied period. The two algorithms are both proposed for soft real-time tasks, reducing the response time of the real-time tasks, but cannot guarantee that these aperiodic real-time tasks received can meet deadlines. In this paper, through combination of DS algorithm and EDF (Earliest Deadline First) algorithm [6], a new algorithm called DS-EDF is introduced, which can scheduling hard real-time aperiodic tasks on the DS server. This algorithm is not only suitable for uniprocessor systems, but also has the ability to extend to multiprocessor systems.

For a hard real-time multicore system, the two important issues that are required to be addressed are feasibility of a task set and balancing of load amongst the cores of the multicore systems. Most of the previous work done considers the scheduling of periodic tasks on a multicore system. This chapter deals with scheduling of aperiodic tasks on a multicore system in a hard real-time environment. In this regard, a multicore total bandwidth server (MTBS) is proposed which schedules the aperiodic tasks with already guaranteed periodic tasks amongst the cores of the multicore processor. The proposed MTBS algorithm works by computing a virtual deadline for every aperiodic task that is arriving to the system. Apart from schedulability of aperiodic tasks, the MTBS approach also focuses on reducing the response time of aperiodic tasks. The simulation studies of MTBS were carried out to find the effectiveness of the proposed approach, and it is also compared with the existing strategies.
