TORSCHE Scheduling toolbox for Matlab

This paper presents a Matlab based scheduling toolbox TORSCHE (time optimization of resources, scheduling). The toolbox offers a collection of data structures that allow the user to formalize various off-line and online scheduling problems. Algorithms are simply implemented as Matlab functions with fixed structure allowing users to implement new algorithms. A more complex problem can be formulated as an integer linear programming problem or satisfiability of Boolean expression problem. The toolbox is intended mainly as a research tool to handle control and scheduling co-design problems. Therefore, we provide an interface to a real-time Matlab/Simulik based simulator TrueTime and a code generator allowing to generate parallel code for FPGA
