Abstract Search Space is a Subset of Restricted Supply EDF Search Space

A response-time analysis usually involves solving the response-time equation for various relative arrival times (w.r.t. the beginning of the corresponding busy interval) of a job under analysis. To reduce the time complexity of the analysis, the state of the art uses the notion of a search space. Intuitively, this corresponds to all "interesting" arrival offsets that the job under analysis might have with regard to the beginning of its busy window.

In this file, we prove that the search space derived from the aRSA theorem is a subset of the search space for the EDF scheduling policy with restricted supply. In other words, by solving the response-time equation for points in the EDF search space, one also checks all points in the aRTA search space, which makes EDF compatible with aRTA w.r.t. the search space.

Section SearchSpaceSubset.

Consider any type of tasks.

  Context {Task : TaskType}.
  Context `{TaskCost Task}.
  Context `{TaskDeadline Task}.
  Context `{TaskMaxNonpreemptiveSegment Task}.

Consider an arbitrary task set ts.

Variable ts : seq Task.

Let max_arrivals be a family of valid arrival curves.

  Context `{MaxArrivals Task}.
  Hypothesis H_valid_arrival_curve :
    valid_taskset_arrival_curve ts max_arrivals.

Let tsk be any task in ts that is to be analyzed.

Variable tsk : Task.
Hypothesis H_tsk_in_ts : tsk \in ts.

Let L be an arbitrary positive constant. Normally, L denotes an upper bound on the length of a busy interval of a job of tsk. In this file, however, L can be any positive constant.

Variable L : duration.
Hypothesis H_L_positive : 0 < L.

For brevity, let's denote the relative deadline of a task as D.

Let D tsk := task_deadline tsk.

We introduce rbf as an abbreviation of the task request bound function.

Let rbf := task_request_bound_function.

To reduce the time complexity of the analysis, we introduce the notion of a search space for EDF. Intuitively, this corresponds to all "interesting" arrival offsets that the job under analysis might have with regard to the beginning of its busy window.

In the case of the search space for EDF, we consider three conditions. First, we ask whether task_rbf A ≠ task_rbf (A + ε).

Let task_rbf_changes_at (A : duration) :=
rbf tsk A != rbf tsk (A + ε).

Second, we ask whether there exists a task tsko from ts such that tsko ≠ tsk and rbf(tsko, A + D tsk - D tsko) ≠ rbf(tsko, A + ε + D tsk - D tsko).

  Let bound_on_total_hep_workload_changes_at (A : duration) :=
    let new_hep_job_released_by tsko :=
      (tsk != tsko ) && (rbf tsko (A + D tsk - D tsko) != rbf tsko ((A + ε ) + D tsk - D tsko))
    in has new_hep_job_released_by ts.

Third, we ask whether blocking_bound (A - ε) ≠ blocking_bound A.

Let blocking_bound_changes_at (A : duration) :=
blocking_bound ts tsk (A - ε) != blocking_bound ts tsk A.

The final search space for EDF is the set of offsets less than L and where priority_inversion_bound, task_rbf, or bound_on_total_hep_workload changes in value.

  Definition is_in_search_space (A : duration) :=
    (A < L ) && (blocking_bound_changes_at A
                || task_rbf_changes_at A
                || bound_on_total_hep_workload_changes_at A ).

To rule out pathological cases with the search space, we assume that the task cost is positive and the arrival curve is non-pathological.

Hypothesis H_task_cost_pos : 0 < task_cost tsk.
Hypothesis H_arrival_curve_pos : 0 < max_arrivals tsk ε.

For brevity, let us introduce a shorthand for an intra-IBF. The abstract search space is derived via intra-IBF.

  Let intra_IBF (A F : duration) :=
    rbf tsk (A + ε) - task_cost tsk
    + (blocking_bound ts tsk A + bound_on_athep_workload ts tsk A F ).

Then, abstract RTA's standard search space is a subset of the computation-oriented version defined above.

  Lemma search_space_sub :
    ∀ A,
      abstract.search_space.is_in_search_space L intra_IBF A →
      is_in_search_space A.
