Pre-Emptive Scheduling and the Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) One of the biggest differentiators between the scheduling algorithms implemented within embedded OSs is whether the algorithm ...

Most high-performance embedded systems do not need an expensive and full-functionality real-time operating system (RTOS). A dedicated scheduler such as those used in arbitration processes and traffic ...

Short Term vs. Long Term Scheduling. Most computer operating systems must multi-task. They use a scheduling algorithm that decides which of the many processes can be run at any given time. It puts ...

This paper presents two algorithms for scheduling a set of jobs with multiple priorities on non-homogeneous, parallel machines. The application of interest involves the tracking and data relay ...

This paper describes three approaches to assigning tasks to earth observing satellites (EOS). A fast and simple priority dispatch method is described and shown to produce acceptable schedules most of ...
