Real-Time Scheduling for Software Prototyping

Abstract. This paper presents several real-time scheduling algorithms developed to support rapid prototyping of embedded systems using the Computer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS). The CAPS tools are based on the Prototyping System Description Language (PSDL), which is a high-level language designed specifically to support the conceptual modeling of real-time mbedded systems. This paper describes the scheduling algorithms used in CAPS along with the associated timing constraint and hardware models, which include single and multi-processor configurations
