Abstract
In embedded systems, the types of processings to be executed are limited, and many processes are executed periodically. In such systems, we need to reduce the overhead of periodic execution control and the dispersion of the processing time. ART-Linux has been proposed as a conventional real-time operating system that can be used for this purpose in various devices such as robots. In this paper, we discuss the periodic execution control of ART-Linux and clarify several problems. Next, we propose a design for sophisticated periodic execution control in order to solve these problems. Finally, we discuss the realization of periodic execution control, the effect of this control, and the result of the evaluation.
