Abstract
A multimedia system consists of substantial amount of continuous media workload scheduled periodically at deterministic time points. Phased scheduling is achieved by shifting phase or the lag between the invocation times of independent periodic tasks. A proper phase configuration distributes workload uniformly over time and reduces task interference that may otherwise result in jitter, deadline miss, and long response time. In our previous work, an algorithm is proposed that identifies optimal phase values for given periodic task set scheduled earliest deadline first[1]. We now present another phase identification algorithm and evaluate its effectiveness. The algorithm in this paper is less accurate but faster than the previous algorithm. In addition, the new approach is applicable to wider set of problems.
