Session summary: Experience

The experience session examined the proposal to integrate time triggered (TT) scheduling with priority based scheduling. Jorge described a software architecture and implementation that combines TT tasks with those scheduled dynamically by priority. The issue of multiprocessor support was discussed again, as it had been for essentially all other sessions. No specific decision was reached but the proposed enhancements were re-confirmed as valuable and additional directions and refinements were proposed by the group. It was recommended to explore the ability to break a long running TT task into segments, get some usage experience and then make the resulting facility available.
