A first execution time of a first thread executing on a first processing unit of a multiprocessor
is determined. A second execution time of a second thread executing on a second …

Java has many benefits such as security in distributed environments, reusability of code, and
portability because it is architecture neutral. From those characteristics, Java is beginning to …

Real-time scheduling theory attempts to guarantee that a real-time task set always meets its
deadlines. Historically, there has existed a wide gap between real-time scheduling theory …

In an interactive multimedia environment that handles multiple sessions dynamically, a
mechanism for controlling the QOS among sessions is very important. It is, however, di cult …

The design of a kernel-level thread package for dynamic, hard real-time environments is
presented. A highly integrated design is used to ensure predictability. A system description …

Les progrès récents dans le domaine de l'informatique et des réseaux de communications
ont ouvert la voie aux applications distribuées multimédias coopératives. La problématique …

Timing management for user-level real-time threads can be done with appropriate support of
the kernel. When a specified time comes, the kernel makes a virtual processor to upcall a …

In an interactive multimedia environment that handles multiple sessions dynamically, a
mechanism for controlling the Quality of Service (QOS) among sessions is very important …

Next-generation, hard real-time systems will require new, flexible functionality and
guaranteed, predictable performance. This paper describes the UMass Spring threads …

One characteristic of continuous media is that they should be processed both continuously
and periodically. Although\periodic execution models" are suitable for such processing, most …
