“…Guan et al [6] conducted simulation experiments empirically comparing the real-time performance of preemptive and nonpreemptive global fixed-priority scheduling, by which they obtained interesting results suggesting that, for a considerably part of applications on multiprocessor platforms, nonpreemptive scheduling is actually a better choice than preemptive scheduling regarding the real-time performance. Therefore, obtained results are also compared with the success ratio for the same load by Thakor and Shah [15], and they show that the global RMA SJF outperforms the global preemptive EDF (earliest deadline first) and D EDF (deadline monotonic earliest deadline first) in schedulability for the same load. Figure 12 shows success ratio analyzed with EDF, D EDF, and RMA-SJF and Figure 13 shows the effective processor utilization is analyzed with EDF, D EDF, and RMA-SJF.…”
