Multiprocessor preprocessing algorithms for uniprocessor on-line scheduling

H. Chetto and M. Chetto (1989) presented an algorithm for the online admission control and run-time scheduling of aperiodic real-time jobs in preemptive uniprocessor environments that are executing systems of periodic hard real-time tasks. This algorithm requires a significant degree of preprocessing of the system of periodic tasks - in general, this preprocessing takes a time that is exponential in the representation of the periodic task system. In this paper, we develop techniques for speeding up the preprocessing phase of the Chetto & Chetto algorithm, by adapting it for implementation in parallel environments. We validate the effectiveness of our parallelization both by theoretical results and through simulation experiments
