Multiprocessor Scheduling with Few Preemptions

Ref: HURRAY-TR-060811       Publication Date: 16 to 18, Aug, 2006

Abstract:
Consider the problem of scheduling a set of periodically arriving tasks on a multiprocessor with the goal of meeting deadlines. Processors are identical and have the same speed. Tasks can be preempted and they can migrate between processors. We propose an algorithm with a utilization bound of 66% and with few preemptions. It can trade a higher utilization bound for more preemption and in doing so it has a utilization bound of 100%.
