Question 1

What does preemptive scheduling allow?

  • A higher-priority task to interrupt another
  • All tasks to run to completion
  • Only one task to ever run

💡 Hint: Think about task priorities.

Question 2

True or False: EDF scheduling assigns priorities based on task lengths.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: What influences the priority in EDF?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scheduling scenario where three tasks need to be scheduled. Task A has a period of 10ms, Task B has a period of 15ms, and Task C has a period of 5ms. Prepare a schedule using both RMS and EDF, indicating when each task will run in a 30ms timeframe.

💡 Hint: Calculate the periodicity and compare priority assignments.

Question 2

Present a scenario in which using EDF may lead to a missed deadline even when the total CPU usage is below 100%. Describe potential strategies to mitigate this situation.

💡 Hint: Consider task overlaps and the timing of their resource usage.
