| Abstract | Most operating system schedulers are not flexible enough to support dynamic scheduling policies like earliest deadline first and least slack algorithms. Some of these algorithms are widely used in real-time applications. This paper looks into the issues involved in developing a real-time scheduler for a general purpose operating system. We describe the implementation of a user-level threads package which has the flexibility of supporting any scheduling policy. By sharing stack space between kernel threads, we attempt to address the inherent problem of starvation and non-preemption for a user-level scheduler. The results of comparative evaluation show that a user-level scheduler performs better than the operating system scheduler. We also look into feasibility of using Windows NT for real-time applications requiring I/O subsystem services. |
