Abstract:
1. A system for effectively performing a scheduling operation for an electronic device, comprising: an allocation manager configured to handle a scheduling request from device software of said electronic device by analyzing request parameters for authorizing said scheduling request; a scheduling manager configured to schedule a task that is authorized by said allocation manager; and a processor for controlling said allocation manager and said scheduling manager to thereby perform said scheduling operation, wherein said request parameters include a resource requirement and an execution interval for performing said task, said execution interval being a maximum time period within which said task must be executed, wherein said scheduling operation is synchronized to a base cycle that serves as a timing reference for performing said task, said base cycle forming part of a contiguous base cycle sequence, wherein said allocation manager analyzes said execution interval to ensure that an execution interval duration T conforms to a symmetrical execution-interval specification requirement.
