Implementing Mixed-criticality Systems Upon a Preemptive Varying-speed Processor

Authors: Zhishan Guo and Sanjoy K. Baruah

Published in: LITES, Volume 1, Issue 2 (2014). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 1, Issue 2


Abstract
A mixed criticality (MC) workload consists of components of varying degrees of importance (or "criticalities"); the more critical components typically need to have their correctness validated to greater levels of assurance than the less critical ones. The problem of executing such a MC workload upon a preemptive processor whose effective speed may vary during run-time, in a manner that is not completely known prior to run-time, is considered.Such a processor is modeled as being characterized by several execution speeds: a normal speed and several levels of degraded speed. Under normal circumstances it will execute at or above its normal speed; conditions during run-time may cause it to execute slower. It is desired that all components of the MC workload execute correctly under normal circumstances. If the processor speed degrades, it should nevertheless remain the case that the more critical components execute correctly (although the less critical ones need not do so).In this work, we derive an optimal algorithm for scheduling MC workloads upon such platforms; achieving optimality does not require that the processor be able to monitor its own run-time speed. For the sub-case of the general problem where there are only two criticality levels defined, we additionally provide an implementation that is asymptotically optimal in terms of run-time efficiency.

A Stochastic Framework for Multiprocessor Soft Real-Time Scheduling

Authors: James Anderson and Alex Mills

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10071, Scheduling (2010)


Abstract
Prior work has shown that the global earliest-deadline-first (GEDF) scheduling algorithm ensures bounded deadline tardiness on multiprocessors with no utilization loss; therefore, GEDF may be a good candidate scheduling algorithm for soft real-time workloads. However, such workloads are often implemented assuming an average-case provisioning, and in prior tardiness-bound derivations for GEDF, worst-case execution costs are assumed. As worst-case costs can be orders of magnitude higher than average-case costs, using a worst-case provisioning may result in significant wasted processing capacity. In this paper, prior tardiness-bound derivations for GEDF are generalized so that execution times are probabilistic, and a bound on expected (mean) tardiness is derived. It is shown that, as long as the total expected utilization is strictly less than the number of available processors, the expected tardiness of every task is bounded under GEDF. The result also implies that any quantile of the tardiness distribution is also bounded. The uploaded paper is from the upcoming RTAS. I would like to hear suggestions about how to ease the assumption of independent execution times in this analysis.

Energy Efficient Scheduling via Partial Shutdown

Authors: Samir Khuller, Jian Li, and Barna Saha

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10071, Scheduling (2010)


Abstract
We define a collection of new problems referred to as ``machine activation'' problems. The central framework we introduce considers a collection of M machines (unrelated or related), with machine $i$ having an activation cost of $a_i$. There is also a collection of N jobs that need to be performed, and $p_{ij}$ is the processing time of job $j$ on machine $i$. Standard scheduling models assume that the set of machines is fixed and all machines are available. We assume that there is an activation cost budget of $A$ -- we would like to select a subset S of the machines to activate with total cost $a(S)le A$ and find a schedule for the jobs on the machines in $S$ minimizing the makespan. In this work we develop bi-criteria approximation algorithms for this problem based on both LP rounding and a greedy approach.

Every Deterministic Nonclairvoyant Scheduler has a Suboptimal Load Threshold

Authors: Jeff Edmonds

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10071, Scheduling (2010)


Abstract
The goal is to prove a surprising lower bound for resource augmented nonclairvoyant algorithms for scheduling jobs with sublinear nondecreasing speed-up curves on multiple processors with the objective of average response time. Edmonds and Pruhs in SODA09 prove that for every $\e > 0$, there is an algorithm $\alg_{\e}$ that is $(1\!+\!\epsilon)$-speed $O({1 \over \e2})$-competitive. A problem, however, is that this algorithm $\alg_{\e}$ depends on $\e$. The goal is to prove that every fixed deterministic nonclairvoyant algorithm has a suboptimal speed threshold, namely for every (graceful) algorithm $\alg$, there is a threshold $1\!+\!\beta_{\alg}$ that is $\beta_{\alg} > 0$ away from being optimal such that the algorithm is $\Omega({1 \over \e \beta_{\alg}})$ competitive with speed $(1 \!+\! \beta_{\alg}) \!+\! \e$ and is $\omega(1)$ competitive with speed $1 \!+\! \beta_{\alg}$. I have worked very hard on it and have felt that I was close. The proof technique is to use Brouwer's fixed point theorem to break the cycle of needing to know which input will be given before one can know what the algorithm will do and needing to know what the algorithm will do before one can know which input to give. Every thing I have can be found at

Optimal Mechanisms for Scheduling

Authors: Birgit Heydenreich, Debasis Mishra, Rudolf Müller, and Marc Uetz

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10071, Scheduling (2010)


Abstract
We study the design of optimal mechanisms in a setting where a service provider needs to schedule a set of non-preemptive jobs, one job at a time. Jobs need to be compensated for waiting, and waiting cost is private information. In this setting, an optimal mechanism is one that induces jobs to report truthfully their waiting cost, while minimizing the total expected compensation cost of the service provider. Here, truthful refers to Bayes-Nash implementability, and assumes that private information is independently drawn from known distributions. We derive closed formulae for the optimal mechanism, and show that it is a modification of Smith’s ratio rule. We also show that it can be implemented in dominant strategies. Our analysis relies on a graph-theoretic interpretation of the incentive compatibility constraints. It parallels the analysis known for auctions with single parameter agents, yet it exhibits some subtle differences. We also consider the multi-dimensional case where also the service times of jobs are private information. We show that for this problem the optimal mechanism generally does not satisfy an independence condition known as IIA, and thus known approaches are doomed to fail.

Polynomial Time Algorithms for Minimum Energy Scheduling

Authors: Marek Chrobak, Philippe Baptiste, and Christoph Dürr

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10071, Scheduling (2010)


Abstract
The aim of power management policies is to reduce the amount of energy consumed by computer systems while maintaining satisfactory level of performance. One common method for saving energy is to simply suspend the system during the idle times. No energy is consumed in the suspend mode. However, the process of waking up the system itself requires a certain fixed amount of energy, and thus suspending the system is beneficial only if the idle time is long enough to compensate for this additional energy expenditure. In the specific problem studied in the paper, we have a set of jobs with release times and deadlines that need to be executed on a single processor. Preemptions are allowed. The processor requires energy L to be woken up and, when it is on, it uses the energy at a rate of R units per unit of time. It has been an open problem whether a schedule minimizing the overall energy consumption can be computed in polynomial time. We solve this problem in positive, by providing an O(n5)-time algorithm. In addition we provide an O(n4)-time algorithm for computing the minimum energy schedule when all jobs have unit length.

Power-Aware Real-Time Scheduling: Models, Open Problems, and Practical Considerations

Authors: Nathan Fisher

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10071, Scheduling (2010)


Abstract
Power-related issues have received considerable research attention from the real-time community in the past decade. In our talk, we introduce a recent model and set of assumptions made in the recent real-time literature on energy and thermal issues; suggest two high-level open problems for power-aware real-time scheduling: {em peak-temperature minimization} and {em energy-minimization with temperature as a constraint}; and discuss practical considerations that should be considered in proposed solutions.

Recent Hardness Results for Periodic Uni-processor Scheduling

Authors: Friedrich Eisenbrand and Thomas Rothvoss

Abstract
Consider a set of $n$ periodic tasks $ au_1,ldots, au_n$ where $ au_i$ is described by an execution time $c_i$, a (relative) deadline $d_i$ and a period $p_i$. We assume that jobs are released synchronously (i.e. at each multiple of $p_i$) and consider pre-emptive, uni-processor schedules. We show that computing the response time of a task $ au_n$ in a Rate-monotonic schedule i.e. computing [ minleft{ r geq mid c_n + sum_{i=1}^{n-1} leftlceil frac{r}{p_i} ight ceil c_i leq r ight} ] is (weakly) $mathbf{NP}$-hard (where $ au_n$ has the lowest priority and the deadlines are implicit, i.e. $d_i = p_i$). Furthermore we obtain that verifying EDF-schedulability, i.e. [ forall Q geq 0: sum_{i=1}^n left( leftlfloor frac{Q-d_i}{p_i} ight floor +1 ight)cdot c_i leq Q ] for constrained-deadline tasks ($d_i leq p_i$) is weakly $mathbf{coNP}$-hard.

Resource Sharing in Global Fixed-Priority Preemptive Multiprocessor Scheduling

Authors: Arvind Easwaran and Björn Andersson

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10071, Scheduling (2010)


Abstract
In this paper we consider global fixed-priority preemptive multiprocessor scheduling of constrained-deadline sporadic tasks that share resources in a non-nested manner. We develop a novel resource-sharing protocol and a corresponding schedulability test for this system. We also develop the first schedulability analysis of priority inheritence protocol for the aforementioned system. Finally, we show that these protocols are efficient (based on the developed schedulability tests) for a class of priority-assignments called emph{reasonable} priority-assignments.

Scalably Scheduling Processes with Arbitrary Speedup Curves

Authors: Jeff Edmonds and Kirk Pruhs

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10071, Scheduling (2010)


Abstract
We give a scalable ((1+\epsilon)-speed O(1)-competitive) nonclairvoyant algorithm for scheduling jobs with sublinear nondecreasing speed-up curves on multiple processors with the objective of average response time.
