Question 1

What is the principle behind the EDF scheduling algorithm?

  • Tasks are scheduled based on execution time.
  • Tasks are scheduled based on the earliest deadline.
  • Tasks have fixed priorities.

💡 Hint: Focus on how tasks are ordered for execution in EDF.

Question 2

If the total utilization of tasks in EDF is greater than 100%, what can be concluded?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of exceeding CPU capacity.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a task set with three tasks. Task A has a period of 6 ms and a WCET of 2 ms, Task B has a period of 4 ms and a WCET of 1 ms, and Task C has a period of 8 ms and a WCET of 3 ms. Determine if the system can be scheduled under EDF.

💡 Hint: Focus on computing the total utilization based on WCET and period.

Question 2

In a real-time system with EDF scheduling, explain how you would manage resource contention among tasks and implement priority inversion solutions.

💡 Hint: Consider how priority inversion affects task scheduling when multiple tasks access shared resources.
