Many of the Scheduling algorithms used to schedule real-time tasks in a multiprocessor soft real-time systems are extended from their uniprocessor counterparts such as Global Earliest Deadline First (G-EDF) and Least Laxity First (LLF). However such algorithms when extended to real-time multiprocessor scheduling achieve low schedulability rates. In this paper, we present an efficient real-time multiprocessor scheduling algorithm that achieves high schedulability rates compared to currently existing algorithms. Unlike the current algorithms which are known to be greedy, our proposed algorithm uses a semi-greedy criteria to schedule tasks. The simulation showed that the proposed algorithm misses few deadlines as well as achieves high schedulability rates compared to currently existing algorithms. © 2014 IEEE. %Z cited By 0; Conference of 2014 International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences, ICCOINS 2014 ; Conference Date: 3 June 2014 Through 5 June 2014; Conference Code:112912
