Optimal Harmonic Period Assignment With Constrained Number of Distinct Period Values

Published in IEEE Access 8, 175697 - 175712 (2020), 2020

In this paper, we study the issue of assigning a fixed number of harmonic periods from period ranges to maximize utilization in real-time systems. In the existing period assignment approaches, the number of different harmonic period values in the solution was not addressed. In this work, we show that, in real-time systems in which the number of available task periods is restricted, such a constraint is crucial for efficient system design.
