Article: New computer modelling study findings have been published by scientists at Eindhoven University of Technology.

"Worst-case assumptions about the timing of systems are often too conservative when analyzing distributed soft real-time systems as they lead to over-dimensioned and expensive products. For these systems, a certain percentage of deadline misses is often affordable," investigators in Netherlands report.

"Instead of a binary answer regarding the schedulability of such a system, a more interesting metric is the degree to which the system meets the timing requirements. For this, an appropriate model that realistically expresses the behavior of a soft real-time system when deployed on a multiprocessor platform should be built and analyzed. In this article, we present ...
