Handling Non-Periodic Events in Real-Time Java Systems

  • First Online:
Distributed, Embedded and Real-time Java Systems

Abstract

Most real-time systems consist of a mixture of hard and soft real-time components. Hard real-time tasks are typically periodic, whereas soft real-time tasks are usually non-periodic. The goal of real-time scheduling is to minimize of the response times of soft tasks while guaranteeing the periodic tasks’ deadlines. This chapter presents the mechanisms provided by the Real-Time Specification for Java to help program this mix of hard and soft components. An approach where support is provided at the application level (user-land) is proposed and evaluated. APIs that unify the various approaches and permit their use by a non specialist are defined.

Notes

  1. 1.

    If a periodic task has a worst case execution time greater than its mean execution time, most of its executions generate reserved but unused time called gain time.

  2. 2.

    Periods where the processor is servicing priorities higher or equal to i

  3. 3.

    Processor idle periods or periods where processor serves priorities lower than i

  4. 4.

    The notation (x)0 means max(x, 0)
