Hierarchical scheduling is a promising methodology for designing and deploying real-time applications, since it enables component-based design and analysis. Such techniques are also helpful for providing temporal isolation and timing guarantees in open systems, and for enabling application-specific schedulers.
The Bounded-Delay Multipartition (BDM) interface was proposed by Lipari and Bini in "A framework for hierarchical scheduling on multiprocessors: from application requirements to run-time allocation" (2010) to allow the designer to balance between flexibility in resource allocation and the cost of resource overprovisioning necessary for meeting the the timing constraints.
In this paper, we present an implementation within the Linux kernel of a multiprocessor bandwidth reservation mechanism for control groups based on the BDM interface, and we report on an early experimental evaluation. Our work is based on SCHED_DEADLINE, a scheduling class in the Linux kernel that provides task-level resource reservation using the Constant Bandwidth Server. Our implementation extends Linux's current structures and interface by replacing the control groups throttling mechanism with an EDF-based reservation algorithm.
