TLDR
DARTS algorithm is proposed, which is based on dynamic utilization and assigns higher priority to a task with the highest utilization with regard to its laxity, and it is demonstrated that not only does DARTS algorithm have better utilization than existing global EDF schedulability tests, but it also has significantly well outputs in total utilization less than 90 percent.
Release enforcement in resource-oriented partitioned scheduling for multiprocessor systems
TLDR
A release enforcement technique is used to shape the interference from the higher-priority jobs to be sporadic, analyze the schedulability, and provide strategies for partitioning both the critical and the non-critical sections of tasks onto processors individually.
