  Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient real-time scheduling method of multimedia tasks for decoding frames of MPEG-2 video streams. In out task model, each frame is decoded by a separate multimedia task. The decoding task for each frame is assigned to the priority according to the precedence and importance of frames in a video stream. We use a priority-based scheduling policy in order to effectively allocate the CPU bandwidth to multimedia tasks for MPEG-2 decoding. We show how to dynamically control the fraction of the CPU bandwidth allocated to each multimedia task according to the priority. The primary purpose of our scheduling method is to enhance the real-time performance of the multimedia system by minimizing the number of decoding tasks that have missed their deadlines while reducing the decoding times of these multimedia tasks. The performance of this scheduling method is compared with that of similar mechanisms through simulation experiments.
