Abstract:

In this paper, a two-level hierarchical scheduling scheme is presented for the application-oriented hybrid real-time tasks (HRTF). In this scheme, the time-triggered and the event-triggered modes are adopted for periodic real-time and aperiodic tasks respectively, and a task model is established, with the related concepts being also defined. Then, the structure of the scheduling scheme is proposed, and some crucial technologies such as scheduling algorithm, schedulability, jitter, tick-interval and optimal scheduling scheme are investigated. Moreover, some experiments combined with Windows CE. NET are performed to validate the scheduling scheme. The results show that the proposed scheme improves the certainty of HRTT and reduces the jitter. The effects of tick-interval on CPU utilization and period resolution are finally discussed.
