Abstract
An important component in the kernel of a real-time operating system (RTOS) is the task scheduler. Various solutions on task scheduling, such as priority inheritance and priority ceiling, have been proposed to deal with the priority-inversion problem that arises when a preemptive priority driven scheduling scheme is used. However, the priority inheritance protocol introduces drawbacks such as multiple blocking of tasks and deadlock, while the priority ceiling protocol is hardly supported by most existing real-time operating systems. We first present a formal description of a task scheduling algorithm that provides a solution to the priority inversion problem and eliminates multiple blocking of tasks running in a single processor platform. We use RTPA (real-time process algebra), a formal specification notation, to describe rigorously the architecture, and static and dynamic behaviours of the task scheduler. Our method employs a multi-queue based scheduling system in which all tasks pending on a resource or event are put into different queues with preassigned priorities. This technique eliminates the problem of priority inversion and prevents multiple-blocking and deadlock from happening. Based on the new method, a framework for implementing task scheduling and event handling is implemented for RTOS+, which is a portable real-time operating system developed by the authors.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
