Preserves data affinity Makes synchronization easy Reduces context switches of local caches and scheduling overheads (e.g., resolves lock-holder preemption problem) Improves the accuracy of Reduces the worst-case estimating the WCET by execution times (WCET) simplifying the execution Hence, it can be used to make multiprocessor platforms more (time) predictable 3

A response-time analysis for a wide class of global scheduling policies based on searching the space of possible schedules We use and extend the notion of schedule- abstraction graphs [RTSS’ 17] (recently introduced to analyze uniprocessor non-preemptive scheduling) [RTSS’ 17] Mitra Nasri and Björn B.

Latest release Worst-case execution Arrival time Best-case execution time [Audsley93] time (BCET) time (WCET) Arrival time deadline Job Release time Deadline Execution time Priority Min Max Min Max Release jitter 𝐾 1 𝐾 1 0 7 13 1 5 high 0 7 13 𝐾 2 2 5 15 2 5 low 𝐾 2 2 15 5 Since there is no periodicity assumption about job releases, finding a worst-case scenario is fundamentally hard Naively enumerating all possible combinations of release times and execution times (a.k.a. execution scenarios) is not practical [Audsley’ 93] Neil Audsley, Alan Burns, Mike Richardson, Ken Tindell, and Andy J. Wellings. Applying new scheduling theory to static priority preemptive scheduling. Software Engineering Journal, 1993. 7 7

“ schedule-abstraction graph ” [RTSS’ 17] is a technique that allows us to aggregate “ similar ” schedules while searching for all possible schedules Hence, it reduces the search space 8 [RTSS’ 17] Mitra Nasri and Björn B.

A path in the graph represents an ordered set of dispatched jobs final state : initial state : Every path includes all jobs no job has been dispatched 𝑲 𝟐 𝑲 𝟑 𝑲 𝟒 𝑲 𝟓 𝑲 𝟑 𝑲 𝟐 9 9 [RTSS’ 17] Mitra Nasri and Björn B.

Schedule-Abstraction Graphs for Global Scheduling Policies (this work) 14 14

Goal : define and build a schedule-abstraction graph for global scheduling policies SYSTEM ABSTRACTION EXPANSION RULES MERGING RULES (What is the system state? (How to select jobs that can be dispatched (When and how to merge What is on the edges?) “next” by the scheduling policy at any state?) two states?) In the paper In the talk How to encode the state of processor(s)? What are the other parameters that must be in the state? Examples : Cache state Our prior work in [RTSS’ 17] was for uniprocessor system Its state definition and expansion and merging rules are not applicable to multiprocessor scheduling 15 15 [RTSS’ 17] Mitra Nasri and Björn B.

Rule 1: work-conserving scheduler If at time 𝑢 there is a certainly released job and a certainly available core, a job will be dispatched at time 𝑢 . Rule 2: job-level fixed-priority scheduler A lower priority job cannot be dispatched as soon as a higher-priority job is certainly released and not yet scheduled. 17 17
