Notes on the Generation of Spin-Values for Fixed (m,k)-Patterns
- The use of fixed (m,k)-patterns for scheduling of (m,k)-firm real-time tasks has the advantage of a higher predictability compared to other approaches. However, feasibility of task sets can be influenced negatively through high interferences between jobs classified as mandatory under the (m, k)-patterns. Rotating the (m, k)-patterns of single tasks by a spin value can improve feasibility of task sets. Due to minor errors and missing information in the original presentation of this approach, a reproduction of these results is difficult. In this report we provide the necessary corrections. Our evaluation shows that, after applying these corrections, the original results can be reproduced.
