Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are implementing a Deferrable Server with a budget of 6ms and a period of 10ms. If an aperiodic task arrives at 3ms into the period and consumes 2ms of the budget, how does the server manage the remaining budget if no further aperiodic tasks arrive?

💡 Hint: Consider how the server utilizes its budget in real-time.
