  1. Chapter 6 Dynamic Priority Servers In chapter 5, we looked at fixed priority servers. The scheduling algorithms were based upon Rate Monotonic periodic scheduling, which limits guaranteed utilization to approximately 70%. In chapter 6, we look at dynamic priority servers. The scheduling is based upon Earliest Deadline First. The most significant implication of this is that scheduling has higher bounds, approaching 100% utilization.

  2. Scheduling Strategies for Fixed Priority Servers (Chapter 5)(Based upon Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling for periodic tasks) • Background Service • First Come First Served (FCFS) service as availability permits • Polling Server (PS) • Pseudo periodic task(s) provides slot for serving aperiodic tasks • Deferrable Server (DS) • Unused capacity is saved for future aperiodic arrivals • Priority Exchange Server (PE) • “Loans” unusable capacity to ready periodic tasks • Sporadic Server • Loans unusable capacity to ready periodic tasks and delays recoup • Slack Stealing • Passive task steals unnecessary slack time in scheduling

  3. Properties of Dynamic Priority Servers(Based upon Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling for periodic tasks) All tasks are fully preemptable Using Dynamic Priority Servers, the tasks are schedulable if and only if:

  4. Dynamic Priority Servers Dynamic Priority Exchange Server (DPE) Loans priority to periodic tasks, and recoups it at a lower priority later Dynamic Sporadic Server (DSS) Used server capacity is replenished some time after it has been consumed Total Bandwidth Server (TBS) Aperiodic tasks are assigned all available bandwidth immediately Earliest Deadline Late Server (EDL) Like Earliest Deadline Last, periodic tasks are scheduled as late of possible Improved Dynamic Priority Exchange Server (IPE) Identified EDL slack is used schedule using Dynamic Priority Exchange

  5. Dynamic Priority Exchange Server Like Priority Exchange Server (in Chap 5), whenever there are no aperiodic tasks to be served, Dynamic Priority Exchange Server exchanges priorities with periodic tasks and wastes as little time as possible. It also facilitates using the spare time when periodic tasks don’t use their worst case times.

  9. Dynamic Sporatic Server

  10. Dynamic Sporadic Server Dynamic Sporadic Server always schedules with a relatively long far deadline. Therefore, the response of aperiodic tasks may be longer than necessary. A solution is to shorten the period of the Dynamic Sporadic Server, at the expense of more context switches.

  11. Total Bandwidth Server Total Bandwidth Server schedules earlier deadlines for aperiodic tasks, BUT does it such that the overall utilization of the aperiodic load never exceeds the maximum value of Us. Each time an aperiodic request enters, the total bandwidth of the server is immediately assigned to it, WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

  13. Earliest Deadline Late Server Note that the Total Bandwidth Server is conservative. There is slack time that could have been utilized to give the aperiodic tasks better response.

  16. EDL is overhead intensive. In Improved Dynamic Priority Exchange, the Dynamic Exchange Server is modified to use the idle times of EDL, yielding: • a more efficient replenishment policy for the server • the server is no longer periodic, and can be kept at the highest priority Improved Dynamic Priority Exchange Server
