Abstract

See full text

A system and method deterministically switches context in a real-time scheduler to guarantee schedule periodicity. The method includes determining a time slice for each of the plurality of processes. The method includes determining a time slice switch duration between consecutive ones of the time slices. The method includes determining a starting point for each time slice. The method includes generating a schedule as a function of the time slices, the time slice switch durations, and the starting points of the time slices. The schedule includes an order for each of the time slices for a respective one of the plurality of processes. Each of the time slices and each of the time slice switch durations are required to run for their entire duration to guarantee a periodicity of the schedule.
