Real-time Adaptation and Load Balancing Aware OS Services for Distributed Reconfigurable System on Chip

In distributed reconfigurable systems on chip embedded systems, many factors other than a scheduler are involved in the success or failure of real time applications/tasks. A scheduler which is just aware of timing is no longer suitable. Other factors such as resource managing, load balancing, execution adaptation and fault prediction are in fact of great importance. In this paper we point out the impacts of such factors and further discuss a novel algorithm used to distribute heterogeneous adaptable OS services with regard to execution criterion and load balancing. Although this paper is written in relevance to OS services, many concepts are adequate for applications.
