3.1 Definitions
------------------------
A typical real-time task is composed of a repetition of computation phases
(task instances, or jobs) which are activated on a periodic or sporadic
fashion.

3.2 Schedulability Analysis for Uniprocessor Systems
------------------------
If M=1 (uniprocessor system), or in case of partitioned scheduling (each
real-time task is statically assigned to one and only one CPU), it is
possible to formally check if all the deadlines are respected.

4 Linux uses an admission test based on the tasks' utilizations.
3.3 Schedulability Analysis for Multiprocessor Systems
------------------------
On multiprocessor systems with global EDF scheduling (non partitioned
systems), a sufficient test for schedulability can not be based on the
utilizations or densities: it can be shown that even if D_i = P_i task

the tasks are limited.
3.4 Relationship with SCHED_DEADLINE Parameters
------------------------
Finally, it is important to understand the relationship between the
SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling parameters described in Section 2 (runtime,
deadline and period) and the real-time task parameters (WCET, D, P)
