摘要： A resource management mechanism is provided to ensure that real-time application programs running on a single machine or set of machines exhibit predictable behavior. The resource management mechanism employs the abstraction of an activity which serves as the basis for granting resource reservations and for accounting. An activity submits a request for resources in specified amounts to a resource planner. The activity is resource self-aware so that it is aware of its resource requirements. The activity may query resource providers to obtain resource requirements for particular operations. The resource planner determines whether the activity should be granted the requested reservation by employing an internal policy. Policy is separated by mechanism so that the resource planner may implement any of a number of policies. The resource planner may choose to grant the reservation to an activity or deny the request by an activity. When denying a request, the resource planner may inform the activity of what quantity of the requested resources are currently available so that the activity may submit a modified request. The resource management mechanism includes a dynamic feedback mechanism for initiating renegotiation of resource reservations when appropriate.

摘要翻译：提供资源管理机制以确保在单个机器或机器组上运行的实时应用程序呈现出可预测的行为。资源管理机制采用抽象的活动，作为资源预留和会计准备的基础。活动向资源规划者提交指定数量的资源请求。该活动是资源自我感知，以便它了解其资源需求。该活动可以查询资源提供者以获得特定操作的资源需求。资源计划员通过采用内部策略来确定活动是否应该被授予请求的预留。策略由机制分隔，以便资源规划师可以实现多个策略中的任何一个。资源规划师可以选择将活动的请求授予活动或拒绝该请求。当拒绝请求时，资源规划者可以通知活动当前可用的所请求的资源的数量，使得活动可以提交经修改的请求。资源管理机制包括适当时启动重新协商资源预留的动态反馈机制。

摘要： A method and system for scheduling the use of a computer system resource using a resource planner and a resource provider is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a resource is scheduled for use by a plurality of consumer entities. Each consumer entity may request the commitment of a share of the resource. The method and system utilizes representations of resource usage policy, present commitments of shares of the resource, and present commitments of specified amounts of the resource over specified period of time. The method and system first receives a request from a consumer entity for the commitment of a specified share of the resource. In response, the method and system determines whether the specified share of the resource should be committed to the requesting consumer entity. This determination is based on the representations of resource usage policy and present commitments of shares of the resource. If it is determined that the specified share of the resource should be committed to the requesting consumer entity, then the method and system modifies the representation of present commitments of shares of the resource to commit the specified share of the resource to the requesting consumer entity. The method and system then schedules the use of the resource by the plurality of consumer entity based on the modified representation of present commitments of shares of the resource.

摘要： A method and system for scheduling the execution of threads using optional time-specific constraints is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a scheduler schedules the execution of a plurality of threads each specifying either a percentage processor time scheduling constraint, indicating that a certain percentage of processor time should be dedicated to the execution of the thread, or a deadline scheduling constraint, indicating that a specified quantity of work should be done by the thread by a specified time deadline. For each thread specifying a percentage processor time scheduling constraint, the scheduler determines a restart time corresponding to the percentage processor time scheduling constraint. For each thread specifying a deadline scheduling constraint, the scheduler determines a restart time corresponding to the deadline scheduling constraint. The scheduler then utilizes the determined restart times for scheduling the threads by selecting the thread having the earliest restart time for execution.

摘要： A scalable method and system for easily scheduling data transfer for a video-on-demand server system is provided. A strategy for locating available bandwidth and allocating available bandwidth to subscribers as needed is provided. The input/output bandwidth of storage devices that store data for video image sequences is modelled as a series of bandwidth units. Each bandwidth unit has sufficient capacity to service an individual subscriber during a scheduling cycle. Video image sequences or other data sequences are striped across storage devices such that data for a data sequence is forwarded to the subscriber by reading from a sequence of storage devices in consecutive time frames.

摘要： The present invention provides predictable scheduling of programs using a repeating precomputed schedule. In a preferred embodiment, a scheduler accesses an activity scheduling graph. The activity scheduling graph is comprised of nodes each representing a recurring execution interval, and has one root, one or more leaves, and at least one path from the root to each leaf. Each node is on at least one path from the root to a leaf, and the number of times the execution interval represented by each node occurs during the traversal of the graph is equal to the number of paths from the root to a leaf that the node is on. Each node has associated with it an execution interval length, and is adapted to being dedicated to executing the threads of a single activity. The scheduler first selects a current node within the accessed scheduling graph. When the processor becomes available to execute threads, the scheduler advances from the current node to a new current node in accordance with a root-to-leaf traversal of the scheduling graph. After advancing to the new current node, the scheduler executes one or more threads of the activity to which the new current node is dedicated for the execution interval length associated with the new current node. In a further preferred embodiment, the scheduler allocates specific iterations through specific nodes to satisfy the constraints submitted by threads.
