YARTISS: A Generic, Modular and Energy-Aware Scheduling Simulator for Real-Time Multiprocessor Systems

In this report, we present a free software written in Java, YARTISS, which is a real-time multiprocessor scheduling simulator. It is aimed at comparing user-customized algorithms with ones from the literature on real-time scheduling. This simulator is designed as an easy-to-use modular tool in which new modules can be added without the need to decompress, edit nor recompile existing parts. It can sim-ulate the execution of a large number of concurrent periodic independent tasksets on multiprocessor platforms and generate clear visual results of the scheduling process (both schedules and tunable metrics presentations). Other task models are already implemented in the simulator, like graph tasks with precedence constraints and it is easily extensible to other task models. Moreover, YARTISS can simulate tasksets in which energy consumption is a scheduling parameter in the same manner as Worst Case Execution Time (WCET)
