The utilization bound of uniprocessor preemptive slack-monotonic scheduling is 50%

Consider the problem of scheduling a set of sporadically arriving implicit-deadline tasks to meet deadlines on a uniprocessor. Static-priority scheduling is considered using the slack-monotonic priority-assignment scheme. We prove that its utilization bound is 50%.

The utilization bound of static-priority preemptive partitioned multiprocessor scheduling is 50%

This paper studies static-priority preemptive scheduling on a multiprocessor using partitioned scheduling. We propose a new scheduling algorithm and prove that if the proposed algorithm is used and if less than 50% of the capacity is requested then all deadlines are met. It is known that for every static-priority multiprocessor scheduling algorithm, there is a task set that misses a deadline although the requested capacity is arbitrary close to 50%.
