Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
