A scheduling algorithm schedules a set of tasks in such way that the tasks are completed before their deadlines reached. There are varieties of algorithms for scheduling of periodic tasks on multiprocessor under partitioning scheme or global scheduling scheme. The most common scheduling algorithms are: Rate Monotonic (RM), Deadline Monotonic (DM), Earliest Deadline First (EDF) and Least Laxity First (LLF). In this book, we have proposed a new algorithm titled as D_EDF which is modified conventional EDF algorithm. The proposed algorithm along with EDF, LLF, RM, DM algorithms are simulated and...
