The competitive ratio is a well-known performance measure for the scheduler: it gives the worst-case ratio, among all possible choices for the environment, of the cumulated utility of the online scheduler versus an offline scheduler that knows these choices in advance. Traditionally, competitive analysis is performed by hand, while automated techniques are rare and only handle static environments with independent tasks. We present a quantitative-verification framework for precedence-aware competitive analysis, where task releases may depend on preceding scheduling choices, i.e., the environment can respond to scheduling decisions dynamically . We consider two general classes of precedences: 1) follower precedences force the release of a dependent task upon the completion of a set of precursor tasks, while and 2) pairing precedences modify the characteristics of a dependent task provided the completion of a set of precursor tasks. Precedences make competitive analysis challenging, as the online and offline schedulers operate on diverging sequences. We make a formal presentation of our framework, and use a GPU-based implementation to analyze ten well-known schedulers on precedence-based application examples taken from the existing literature: 1) a handshake protocol (HP); 2) network packet-switching; 3) query scheduling (QS); and 4) a sporadic-interrupt setting. Our experimental results show that precedences and task parameters can vary drastically the best scheduler. Our framework thus supports application designers in choosing the best scheduler among a given set automatically.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems","publication_status":"published","_id":"8788","author":[{"id":"49704004-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Pavlogiannis","orcid":"0000-0002-8943-0722","first_name":"Andreas","full_name":"Pavlogiannis, Andreas"},{"last_name":"Schaumberger","full_name":"Schaumberger, Nico","first_name":"Nico"},{"last_name":"Schmid","first_name":"Ulrich","full_name":"Schmid, Ulrich"},{"first_name":"Krishnendu","full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X","last_name":"Chatterjee","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"doi":"10.1109/TCAD.2020.3012803"}
