In the context of the IRMOS
European Project (Interactive Real-Time Applications on
Service-Oriented Infrastructures), a new realtime scheduler for Linux
has been developed by the Real-Time
Systems Laboratory of Scuola
Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa.
The purpose of this article is to provide a general overview of this new
scheduler, describe its features and how it can be
practically used, provide a few details about the implemented
algorithms, and gathering feedback by the community about possible
improvements. Click below (subscribers only) for the full article by
Tomasso Cucinotta and Fabio Checconi, the developers of this scheduler.
