A Proposal of Real-time Scheduling Algorithm based on RMZL and Schedulability Analysis

AbstractRecently, multiprocessor platform is generally used in embedded real time systems. The optimal real time scheduling algorithms for multiprocessor are demanded. Several algorithms based on RM are proposed. In this study, we propose RMZLPD based on RMZL applied zero-laxity rule to RM. RMZLPD can realize high parallelism. Through simulation, RMZLPD has shown the high schedule success ratio. The schedulability of proposed algorithm also is shown by response time analysis

On the Elusive Link between Adsorbate's Binding Energy and Bond Strength: An Illustration from CO Adsorption on Metal-Doped Graphene

Adsorbates’ binding energy is often used as an indicator of the adsorbate-substrate bond strength. Although one can compute any binding energy, models to gauge bond-strength are developed to rationalize and anticipate it for the rational search for efficient catalysts. Unfortunately, bond-strength alone fails to predict trends in binding energy because, as hinted by models since the 1970s, the binding energy is the outcome of a complex response of the system to the created bond. Therefore further understanding the difference between binding energy and bond strength is essential to catalysts design. Indeed, the adsorbate-substrate bond formation perturbs, not only the geometry of the system, but also the substrate and adsorbate\u27s electronic charge density. Both effects overall reduce the binding energy by an energy attached to such perturbations, the so-called perturbation energy. Here, with the example of carbon monoxide adsorption on metal-doped graphene, we show that such perturbation energy may exceed 1 eV and render an unusual situation: Namely, although the binding energy of CO to the Au-doped graphene indicates that binding does not happen, we find evidence of a strong bond between CO and such substrate. Thus, in this case, the large perturbation energy totally disrupts the equivalency between bond strength and binding energy. Here we propose a method to compute the perturbation energy that bypasses dealing with an excited electronic state of the system
