An experimental comparison of different real-time schedulers on multicore systems

► Experimental comparison among RM and EDF on multi-processors. ► Comparison made with partitioned, clustered and global policies. ► Random workloads of synthetic periodic tasks. ► Experimentation carried out on a 48-core machine with Linux. ► Overheads achieved in the various scenarios are reported. ► Global and clustered real-time algorithms prove to be a viable solution.
