Abstract
A method of evaluating an effect of a run-time scheduling policy on a performance of an end-system, having associated resources, running one or more applications, each application having one or more tasks and the tasks being mapped to the associated resources of the end-system, includes generating a state process having a state space representative of an evolution of computation associated with the end-system, the evolution being representative of task transitions with respect to the applications, available resources and the run-time scheduling policy. Then, given the state space generated with respect to, inter alia, the specified run-time scheduling policy, the method includes computing performance metrics from the state process, the performance metrics being representative of the effect of the run-time scheduling policy on the performance of the one or more applications running on the end-system. The method preferably calculates the performance in terms of the probability distribution of the processing delay of each application and a deadline miss probability.
