EDF always executes a job whose deadline is the earliest.
在實時系統中,"Earliest-Deadline-First Scheduling" (EDF) 是一種調度策略,這種策略根據任務的截止時間來給予優先級。具有最早截止時間的任務將獲得最高的優先級。
Theorem: A set of tasks is schedulable by EDF if and only if its total CPU utilization is no more than 1.
The critical instance of a task with EDF is the same as that with RM.
Lemma: With EDF, there is no idle time before an overflow.
這個引理的意思是,在使用 Earliest-Deadline-First(EDF,最早截止時間優先)調度策略時,不會在超載(overflow)發生前有空閒時間。
