Real time embedded systems typically use a collection of application tasks or threads that must complete their work within real time constraints. Real time systems generally employ preemptive ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We introduce a combinatorial approach for studying multiple-processor scheduling problems that involve the preemptive scheduling of ...

We give an O(n log n) time algorithm to preemptively schedule n equal-length jobs with release times on two identical, parallel machines so as to minimize the mean flow time. The complexity of the ...
