| Resumo: | Multiprocessors, particularly in the form of multicores, are becoming standard building blocks for executing reliable software. But their use for applications with hard real-time requirements is non-trivial. Well-known realtime scheduling algorithms in the uniprocessor context (Rate-Monotonic [1] or Earliest-Deadline-First [1]) do not perform well on multiprocessors. For this reason the scientific community in the area of real-time systems has produced new algorithms specifically for multiprocessors. In the meanwhile, a proposal [2] exists for extending the Ada language with new basic constructs which can be used for implementing new algorithms for real-time scheduling; the family of task splitting algorithms is one of them which was emphasized in the proposal [2]. Consequently, assessing whether existing task splitting multiprocessor scheduling algorithms can be implemented with these constructs is paramount. In this paper we present a list of state-of-art task-splitting multiprocessor scheduling algorithms and, for each of them, we present detailed Ada code that uses the new constructs.
