This demo was created to show some S.Ha.R.K. functionalities in the course
11
of Informatica Industriale , University of Pavia, Italy.
12
 
13
The demo is composed by an application (derived by the template application
14
distributed on the web site) and two init files.
15
 
16
The demo is composed by:
17
 
18
MAKEFILE     The makefile used to compile the application;
19
             demo is the rule to compile the application with a CBS scheduler
20
             demo2 is the rule to compile the application with a RR scheduler
21
README.TXT   This file
22
DEMO.H       Some constants used into the demo
23
INITFIL1.C   The CBS initfile
24
INITFIL2.C   The EDF initfile
25
INITFILE.C   A makefile that cover either EDF+CBS and RR
26
BALL.C       The Jumping balls part of the demo
27
DEMO.C       The main() function and some other utility function
28
JETCTRL.C    The JET part of the demo
29

The demo works as follows:
32
- It works at 640x480 16 bit colors
33
- on the left, there is the jumping ball arena, on the rigth there is the
34
  statistics about the tasks into the system.
35
 
36
- the tasks are guaranteed using CBS and EDF. The wcet and mean execution
37
  time on my portable after a few minutes are (us):
38
 
39
  JetCtrl   7400 max    7500 CBS met
40
  JetDummy   135 max     200 CBS met
41
  JetSlide  2100 max    2100 CBS met
42
  Balls      276 max     380 EDF wcet for hard ball,100 CBS met for soft ones
43
 
44
  The system should go overloaded with 40 soft balls.
45
 
46
- The idea is the following:
47
  - first, an edf guaranteed ball is created.
48
  - then, create a set of soft ball using space. since their met is < than the
49
    real met, they posticipate the deadlines.
50
  - if they are killed, they remain for some seconds in the zombie state
51
  - if a set of soft ball arde created (i.e., 10), and after a while all the
52
    others are created, the bandwidth is fully used, and the task posticipate
53
    their deadlines. the first set of tasks stops jumping when the bandwidth
54
    is full utilized by the newest balls until all the tasks have similar
55
    deadlines.
56
  - Note on the left the slides that represents the relative ratio
57
    between the tasks.
58
  - Note that in overload conditions the EDF task is still guaranteed
59
  - Note that PI is used with EDF, also if no theory says that it is good:
60
    - S.Ha.R.K. allows that, it is the user that have to choose if that is
61
      a non-sense
62
    - PI is independent from the implemnentation of the scheduling modules
63
  - if the second init file is used, RR is used instead of EDF+CBS.
64
  - In overload condition RR perform differently from EDF+CBS, giving to
65
    each task an equal fraction of bandwidth
66
 
67
  - note also:
68
    - the redefinition of the standard exception handler
69
    - the redefinition of the keys and the initialization of the keyboard
70
    - the myend exit function
71
    - the main() that terminates
72
    - the two parts (ball and jet) can be excluded using a #define
