SECTION - B

Attempt any five of the following questions: 5 x 10 = 50

2. (a) What is the difference between a performance constraint and a behavioral constraint in real-time system?
3. (b) Can we consider EDF as a dynamic priority scheduling algorithm for real-time tasks?
4. (c) A real-time system consists of three tasks T1, T2, and T3.Their characteristics have been shown in the following table.

   Task	Phase (ms)	Relative Deadline (ms)	Period (ms)	Execution Time (ms)
   T1	20	10	20	20
   T2	40	10	50	50
   T3	70	20	80	80

   Suppose the tasks are to be scheduled using a table-driven scheduler. Compute the length of time for which the schedules have to be stored in the precomputed schedule table of the scheduler.
5. (d) Why are algorithms which can satisfactorily schedule real-time task on multiprocessors not satisfactory to schedule real-time tasks on distributed systems?
6. (e) What are the drawbacks in using Unix kernel for developing real-time applications?
7. (f) How does dynamically changing the priority levels of tasks property affect real-time systems?
8. (g) Discuss which category of concurrency protocol is best suited under what circumstance?

SECTION - C

Attempt any two of the following questions: 2 x 15 = 30

3. What are the distinguishing characteristics of periodic, aperiodi, and sporadic real-time tasks?
4. What is it required to synchronize the clocks in a distributed real-time system? Compare the advantages and disadvantages of centralized and the distributed clock synchronization.
