Title: A Model for Reducing Priority Inversion in Real Time Server System
Abstract: Satisfying the rigid timing requirements of various real-time activities in real-time systems often requires some special methods to tune the systems run-time behaviors. Unbounded blocking can be caused when a high priority activity cannot preempt a low priority activity. In such situation, it is said that a priority inversion has occurred. The priority inversion is one of the problems which may prevent threads from meeting the deadlines in the real-time systems. It is difficult to remove such priority inversion problems in the kernel at the same time to bound the worst case blocking time for the threads. A thread is a piece of executable code which has access to data and stack. In this paper, a new real-time systems. It is difficult to remove such priority inversion problems in the kernel at the same time to bound the worst case blocking time for the threads. A threads is a piece of executable code which has access to data and stack. In this paper, a new real-time server model, which minimizes the duration of priority inversion, is proposed to reduce the priority inversion problem. The proposed server model provides a framework for building a better server structure, which can not only minimize the duration of the priority inversion, but also reduce the deadline miss ratio of higher priority threads.
