This survey covers hard real-time scheduling algorithms and schedulability analysis
techniques for homogeneous multiprocessor systems. It reviews the key results in this field …

Chip-multiprocessors represent a dominant new shift in the field of processor design. Better
utilization of such technology in the real-time context requires coordinated approaches to …

Multicore platforms are predicted to become significantly larger in the coming years. Given
that real-time workloads will inevitably be deployed on such platforms, the scalability of the …

Graphics processing units, GPUs, are powerful processors that can offer significant
performance advantages over traditional CPUs. The last decade has seen rapid …

The optimality of the Earliest Deadline First scheduler for uniprocessor systems is one of the
main reasons behind the popularity of this algorithm among real-time systems. The ability of …

Ongoing research is discussed on the development of operating-system support for
enabling mixed-criticality workloads to be supported on multicore platforms. This work is …

We systematically survey the literature on analytically sound multiprocessor real-time
locking protocols from 1988 until the end of 2017, covering the following topics: Progress …

Several suspension-based multiprocessor real-time locking protocols for partitioned fixed-
priority (P-FP) scheduling have been proposed in prior work. These protocols differ in key …

We present a light-weight event tracing toolkit for realtime operating systems on the Intel x86
platform. Our approach is wait-free, multiprocessor-safe, and introduces very low overhead …

Multicore architectures, which have multiple processing units on a single chip, have been
adopted by most chip manufacturers. Most such chips contain on-chip caches that are …
