Abstract

The performance of Release 4 of TSS/360 at the T. J. Watson Research Center was dramatically improved in the three-month period from November, 1969, through January, 1970. The improvements consist of an increase in system responsiveness by a substantial factor together with an increase in throughput. This was achieved by methodically adjusting the parameters of the TSS/360 Table-Driven Scheduler in accordance with the Principles of Balanced Core Time and Working Set Size.

Improving responsiveness of soft aperiodic tasks using proportional slack time

In a real-time system with both hard real-time periodic jobs and soft real-time aperiodic jobs, it is important to guarantee that the deadline of each periodic job is met, as well as to provide a fast response time for each aperiodic job. We propose an ...

We present a variant of Pfair scheduling, which we call early-release fair (ERfair) scheduling. Like conventional Pfair scheduling, ERfair scheduling algorithms can be applied to optimally schedule periodic tasks on a multiprocessor system in polynomial ...
