Example: Simple Scheduling Problem
( period, [ e-, e+] ), where e-and e+are the lower and upper bound ofexecution time, respectively.
Goal is to find the priority of each job so that jobs are schedulable
Considering only worst case leads to scheduling anomaly

End-to-end Design Problem
Given a task set with end-to-end constraints on inputs andoutputs Freshness from input X to output Y (F(Y|X)) constraints:
bound time from input X to output Y Correlation between input X1 and X2 (C(Y|X1,X2))
constraints: max time-skew between inputs to output Separation between output Y (u(Y) and l(Y)) constraints:separation between consecutive values on a single output Y
Derive scheduling for every task Periods, offsets, deadlines

Resource-bound computation
Computational systems are always constrained in theirbehaviors
Resources capture physical constraints
Resources should be supported as a first-class notion
in modeling and analysis Resource-bound computation is a general framework
of wide applicability

Process Algebras
Process algebras are abstract and compositionalmethodologies for concurrent-system specificationand analysis.

Process Algebras
A process algebra consists of a set of operators and syntactic rules for constructing
processes a semantic mapping which assigns meaning or
interpretation to every process a notion of equivalence or partial order between
processes a set of algebraic laws that allow syntactic manipulation
of processes.
Ancestors CCS, CSP, ACP, focus on communication and concurrency

Advantages of Process Algebra
A large system can be broken into simpler subsystems and thenproved correct in a modular fashion.
1 A hiding or restriction operator allows one to abstract awayunnecessary details.
2 Equality for the process algebra is also a congruence relation;and thus, allows the substitution of one component with anotherequal component in large systems.

An action preempts action iff no lower priorities:
some higher priorities:
it contains fewer resources

An event preempts an action iff with non-zero priority preempts all
actions e.g.

This requirement was captured formally throughthe notion ofbisimulation, a binary relation on
the states of systems.
Observational equivalenceis based on the idea
that two equivalent systems exhibit the same
behavior at their interfaces with the environment.
Two states arebisimilarif for each single
computational step of the one there exists anappropriate matching (multiple) step of the other,
leading to bisimilar states.

Prioritized strong equivalence
An equivalence relation is congruence when it ispreserved by all the operators of the language.
This implies that replacement of equivalentcomponents in any complex system leads to equivalent
behavior.
Strong bisimulation over is a congruencerelation with respect to the ACSR operators.

Equational Laws
Equational laws are a set of axioms on the syntacticlevel of the language that characterize theequivalence relation.
They may be used for manipulating complex systems
at the level of their syntactic (ACSR) description. There is a set of laws that is complete for finite state

Fixed-priority scheduling in ACSR
A set ofItasks with periodspiand execution times ei,sharing the same CPU (resource cpu), where deadlineequals period: each task receives the start signal from the
scheduler and begins executing
in each step, the task uses the resource cpuor idlesif preempted
Priority of CPU access is based on the process index
Taski= (start?,0) . Pi,0+ : Taski i ={1,,I}Pi,j=j < ei ( : Pi,j+ {(cpu,i)} : Pi,j+1)
+j= eiTaski i ={1,,I}

Scheduling and checking deadlines
Each task is controlled by an actuator process(intuitively, a part of the scheduler) Starts execution of a task by sendingstart Keeps track of deadlines
a task can acceptstartonly after it completes execution inthe previous period
Actuatori= (starti!, i). Ai,0 i= {1,2}

Rate-monotonic scheduling
Order the task processes according to their periods tasks with higher rates have higher indices and thus
higher priorities
Compose the task processes and analyze for deadlock

Dynamic-priority scheduling
Unlike fixed-priority scheduling, such as RM, thepriority of a task changes with time
Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling: priority of atask increases as it nears its deadline:
i= dmax(pi t) dmax= max(p1,,pn) An EDF task:
Taski= (start?,0) . Pi,0,0+ : Taski, i ={1,,I}
Pi,j,t=j < ei ( : Pi,j,t+1+ {(cpu, dmax(pit))} : Pi,j+1,t+1)

PACSR (Probabilistic ACSR)
ACSR extension for probabilisticbehaviors. Objective :
formally describe behavioral variations in systems thatarise due to failures in physical devices.
Since failing devices are modeled by resources weassociate a failure probabilityp(r)with everyresource r at any time unit, ris down with probabilityp(r)or up
with probability 1-p(r)
failures are assumed to be independent

A configuration (P,W)is characterized as Probabilistic, if Prequires resources whose state is not in W.
Example: ( {r1,1}:Q , {r2} )
Nondeterministic, if all resource information required by Pisin W.

Model Checking
Schedulersare used for resolving non-determinism. These arefunctions that given a computation ending in a nondeterministicstate choose the next transition to take place.
Given a scheduler of a system P, sets of states Aand B, and aregular expression , we may compute probabilities
So for example:
'| ffP t
q iff there is scheduler such that
q PrA(P B, , t, ) where A = { P | P |= f }, B = { P | P |= f }
PrA(P B, , t, ),the probability of reaching a state in B,passing only via states in A, via paths with observablecontent in , and within t time units

Equivalence Relations
New notions of equivalence for the LCMC model taking accountboth action types and probabilities.
In particular two LCMCs are strongly bisimilarif
1. they reach sets of bisimilar states with the sameprobability, and
2. for each nondeterministic step of one there exists a step ofthe other leading to bisimilar states.

P2ACSRA power-aware extension of PACSR
A unified framework for modeling and analyzing power-aware
real-time systems. We associate a further attribute to resource usage, that of
power consumption.
The syntax remains the same, except that actions are tuples of
the form (r,p,c),whereris the resource,pis thepriority leveland cthepower consumptionof the resource usage.

P2ACSR
Semantics is given similarly to PACSR, as a LCMC. We can use various techniques to perform various
analyses on P2ACSR models including: Model checking
We may express temporal logic properties involvingpower consumption bounds and check that they aresatisfied by P2ACSR processes.
Probabilistic bounds on power consumptionWe may compute the probability that power
consumption exceeds certain limits. Average power consumption
We may compute the average power consumption duringintervals of interest.

Dynamic Voltage Scaling
Dynamic voltage scalingis a technique proposed formaking energy savings by dynamically altering thepower consumed by a processor.
Lower frequency execution implies longer processing
of tasks.
This may lead to violation of real-time constraints.
[Pillai and Shin 01] propose extensions to real-time
scheduling algorithms to make use of dynamic voltagescaling.

Power-Aware Real-Time Scheduling
The algorithm of [Pillai and Shin] takes advantage of thepossibility of early termination of a task by then executing thenext task at the lowest possible frequency.
Specifically, on every release or completion of a task it re-computes the sum
where is the computation time of the last execution of
task i or ciif task i has just been released. Based on this value it decides the lowest frequency that is
consistent with the current effective utilization.

Power-Aware Real-Time Scheduling
First we extend the model of a task with the ability of executing
slower or faster. It responds to messages fastand slow. In theslow mode a computation step takes twice as long, i.e two timeunits. It also signals its releasewhen execution commences andits completiontime when it completes.

An Automatic Approach The disadvantage of symbolic weak bisimulationis that it requires to add
new edges into SGA. This will increase the size of predicate equations The disadvantage of CLPis that there is no guarantee that it terminates
Reachability Analysis: Finding a condition that makes a systemschedulable is equivalent to finding a condition that guarantees there isalways a cycle in an SGA regardless of a path taken No need to add new edges
