Abstract
A system and method of multi-level scheduling analysis for a general processing module of a real-time operating system. The method includes identifying any processes within respective partitions of the general processing module, for each identified process, determining if the process is local-time centric or global-time centric. The method converts global-time centric process to a local-time centric process, applies a single-level scheduling analysis technique to the processes of respective partitions, and transforms local-time based response times to global-time based response times. The method performs scheduling and response time analyses on one or more of the identified processes of respective partitions. The method can be performed on a synchronous and/or asynchronous system, and on a hierarchical scheduling system that includes a top level scheduler having a static-cyclic schedule and/or a general static schedule. A system and non-transitory computer-readable medium are also disclosed.
