Quantized EDF Scheduling

Model

In EDF, each job has a relative deadline Dj, the current time is t, and its deadline dj=t+Dj by which the job is inserted into a priority queue.  However, in the environment of limited priority levels, Dj is quantized as Q(Dj).  Its quantized deadline becomes t+Q(Dj) by which the job is scheduled with EDF.

     

The above model is analyzed under the framework of Real-Time Queueing Theory (RTQT).

RTQT was introduced by Lehoczky and is used to model real-time tasks under the assumption of heavy traffic stochastic tasks (with traffic parameter q) and deadline D with distribution G.

It assumes stochastic arrival (such as mean rate l, with std of sa ), and service ( such as mean rate m with std of ss). With heavy traffic methodology, we determine the lead-time profile and lateness in a predictable form. 

Major results include Earliest Deadline First, Quantized Earliest Deadline First, First In First Out, etc.
