Abstract Search Space is a Subset of Restricted Supply FP 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 aRTA theorem is a subset of the search space for the FP scheduling policy with restricted supply. In other words, by solving the response-time equation for points in the FP search space, one also checks all points in the aRTA search space, which makes FP compatible with aRTA w.r.t. the search space.

Consider any type of tasks.

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

Consider an FP policy that indicates a higher-or-equal priority relation.

Context {FP : FP_policy Task}.

Consider an arbitrary task set ts.

Variable ts : list Task.

Let max_arrivals be a family of valid arrival curves, i.e., for any task tsk in ts max_arrival tsk is (1) an arrival bound of tsk, and (2) it is a monotonic function that equals 0 for the empty interval delta = 0.

  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's define some local names for clarity.

Let task_rbf := task_request_bound_function tsk.
Let total_ohep_rbf := total_ohep_request_bound_function_FP ts tsk.

Let L be any positive constant. Typically, L denotes an upper bound on the length of a busy interval of a tsk's upper bound on the length of a busy interval of any job of tsk.

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

For the fixed-priority scheduling policy, the search space is defined as the set of offsets below L where the RBF of the task under analysis makes a step.

Definition is_in_search_space A :=
(A < L ) && (task_rbf A != task_rbf (A + ε)).

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 (used by aRTA). The abstract search space is derived via intra-IBF.

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

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

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