EXPERIENCES WITH AGAPE-TR: A SIMULATION TOOL FOR LOCAL REAL-TIME SCHEDULING

Abstract: Local real-time scheduling is a complex problem. The diversities of existing solutions hinder to decide which algorithm to use upon designing each system. In this report a tool to simulate real-time scheduling (AgaPé-TR) is presented. The tool helps to classify and compare different solutions. To do so, it reflects the general characteristics of the problem, and provides facilities to include new algorithms. Using a synthetic benchmarking model, it permits to analyze different scheduling algorithms to get useful metrics. It also allows to make off-line schedulability analysis. The experiments carried out allowed to show its usefulness
