....indicates is not trivial. We do not introduce the complexity of multiple levels in BeRate. However, using the BeRate scheduler does not preclude integration into multi level schemes. Proportional share schedulers assign processing bandwidth so that processes receive CPU within bounded rates [4, 10, 17, 20, 23, 27, 28, 29]. To meet deadlines, a proportional scheduler must know the rate requirements of processes. This information is usually fed to the scheduler through system APIs. However, it may be difficult to determine rate if the performance of the target processor is unknown [14] The BeRate scheduler does not ....

....briefly mention some systems; this list is not comprehensive. EEVDF [34] calculates a virtual deadline for each process as a function of measured and allotted share, and schedules according to EDF; Stride Scheduling [36] uses a similar notion of virtual time. Systems such as BVT [14] 8 and BERT [4] provide enhanced fair sharing algorithms aimed at increasing the throughput of deadline sensitive processes by dynamically reallocating shares on a short term basis. Some systems utilize admission control: processes reserve shares, and the scheduler denies admission when requested reservations ....

....critical data structures kept in the kernel are system scheduler related (and even then, with activations the complexity of user level threads can be kept out of the kernel) Scout v3 Scout v3 is currently in development. The aim is to extend Escort to include a finer granularity CPU scheduler [Qie01, Bavier99] capable of dealing with a mixture of best effort as well as real time paths. This would address most of the CPU scheduling problems in Scout and Escort, however it still leaves the larger architectural questions open. 2.1.4 Resource containers The motivation for Resource Containers [Banga99] ....

....we have set to be 1 millisecond for our prototype. The key features of this prototype RBS are very low overhead to change proportion and period, and fine grain control over proportion and period values. We could equally well have used other RBS mechanisms such as SMaRT [15] Rialto [11] or BERT [1] had one been available on our platform. 3.2 Monitoring Progress The novelty of our approach lies in the estimation of progress as the means of controlling the CPU allocation. Unfortunately, estimating an application s progress is tricky, especially given the opaque interface between the ....

....units of work to be scheduled, and the scheduler creates deadlines for the work based on previous measures of the work s time to completion. BERT automatically assesses whether a given job will meet its deadline, and if not can either steal cycles from a lower priority job or can cancel the job[1]. BERT is similar in philosophy to our approach since it uses feedback of past execution times in its scheduling, but it does not use or measure application progress and as such is subject to the same problems as traditional schedulers. Our solution is similar to Rate based scheduling proposed by ....

....The key to our framework is using virtual time to track a fluid model representation of the system. Though this technique has clearly been used to design schedulers (e.g. WFQ in 1989) we believe that a general theory of virtual time has not been elaborated before. In fact, the BERT algorithm [2], which is the prime example of a scheduler designed in accordance with our theory, actually preceded it. First we created and implemented BERT and convinced ourselves that it worked; the insight about why it worked came later, and led to our methodology. We realized that the steps we took to ....

....to the fluid model, the same lag bounds apply to the virtual CPU description of a process s progress. This result is at least as powerful as those which bound an algorithm s lag relative to virtual time. BERT depends entirely on this conformity for its effectiveness. As originally described in [2], BERT is a nonpreemptive scheduling algorithm. When BERT needs to meet the time constraint of a task, it first assumes that the task s process will receive no more than its reserved rate in the fluid model and calculates a conservative fluid model finish time for the task. It then steals enough ....

....so that it better supports multimedia applications. In each case, the result is a system that sometimes diverges from strict fair sharing, but in which multimedia applications enjoy improved performance. In this paper, we will consider three such multimedia scheduling algorithms: SMART [9] BERT [2], and BVT [6] 1 Also referred to as proportional sharing. Our paper is written in two parts. First, we summarize the goals of each algorithm and describe how it uses virtual time to meet them. In the process, we hope to convince the reader that virtual time is a powerful and flexible ....
