Question 1

What happens during background scheduling?

  • Aperiodic tasks are scheduled alongside periodic tasks
  • Aperiodic tasks wait until the CPU is free
  • Aperiodic tasks have fixed timely execution

💡 Hint: Think about when aperiodic tasks can actually run.

Question 2

Background scheduling is suitable for time-sensitive aperiodic tasks.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the response time guarantees.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create a chart for a real-time system with periodic tasks that must allow for aperiodic tasks. Describe how background scheduling would address the needs of both types of tasks.

💡 Hint: Coordinate the timing of your tasks to identify idle periods effectively.

Question 2

Evaluate a case where an aperiodic task has a strict deadline but is processed through background scheduling. Discuss the potential impacts.

💡 Hint: Consider the reliability expected from the application.
