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

With the widespread adoption of multicore architectures, multiprocessors are now a
standard deployment platform for (soft) real-time applications. This dissertation addresses …

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 …

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 …

Scheduling latency under Linux and its principal real-time variant, the PREEMPT RT patch,
are typically measured using cyclictest, a tracing tool that treats the kernel as a black box …

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 …

This paper presents the first suspension-based multiprocessor real-time locking protocols
with asymptotically optimal blocking bounds (under certain analysis assumptions). These …

The importance of accounting for interrupts in multiprocessor real-time schedulability
analsysis is discussed and three interrupt accounting methods, namely quantum-centric …

In this paper we propose a synchronization protocol for resource sharing among
independently-developed real-time systems on multi-core platforms. The systems may use …
