Scheduling sporadic events
|
2002-12-01 |
| Sporadic events are the bugaboo of many real-time systems. Finding a way to manage aperiodic behaviour can spell the difference between system failure and system success. This article presents the POSIX sporadic scheduling policy, which programmers can use to avoid critical deadline failures in overloaded systems. |
