Abstract

We present a method that enables an efficient implementation of the approximative response-time analysis (RTA) for tasks with offsets presented by Tindell and Palencia Gutierrez et. al. The method allows for significantly faster implementations of schedulability tools using RTA. Furthermore, reducing computation time, from tens of milliseconds to just a fraction of a millisecond, as we will show, is a step towards on-line RTA in for example admission control systems.We formally prove that our reformulation of earlier presented equations is correct and allow us to statically represent parts of the equation, reducing the calculations during fix-point iteration. We show by simulations that the speed-up when using our method is substantial. When task sets grow beyond a trivial number of tasks and/or transactions a speed-up of more than 100 times (10 transactions and 10 tasks/transaction) compared to the original analysis can be obtained.
