Abstract: A scheduling method, medium and apparatus are provided. In the scheduling method, medium and apparatus, it is possible to prevent the possibility that the order between the priorities of the tasks represented by the expired timers and the tasks requested by the interrupt is reversed while also not deteriorating the performance of a real time operating system (RTOS), even though the number of timers expired when the interrupt occurs or that are already expired before the interrupt occurs is large, by selecting a timer for representing a point of time corresponding to a point of time when an interrupt occurs from among one or more timers each of which representing a task, a point of time assigned to the tasks, and a priority assigned to the task and executing a task represented by the selected timer and one or more tasks requested by the interrupt in order of priority.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing a memory are provided. It is possible to rapidly recover the area allocated or desired to be returned by easily recognizing a range of the area allocated or desired to be returned over the entire area of the memory by recognizing an original area of a predetermined memory chunk interrupted by a neighboring memory chunk among a series of memory chunks that make up the memory by considering an original area of the neighboring memory chunk and by recovering the predetermined memory chunk and the recognized area to their original areas, when the area allocated to or returned by an application program is interrupted.

Abstract: A method and apparatus transmitting and receiving in a real-time system are disclosed. The method of transmitting in a real-time system includes scheduling a task included in a socket based on a predetermined transmission option designated to the socket, and transmitting a packet generated by the scheduled task based on the predetermined transmission option, so that real-time communications of a network communication can be secured and resources of the system can be efficiently used, thereby, transmitting and receiving data according to the required characteristics of transmission and reception.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for preventing a stack overflow in an embedded system. The method of preventing a stack overflow includes: reading a maximum stack usage of at least one function for executing a requested operation from maximum stack usages of functions provided from a kernel, which are stored in advance; and processing the requested operation on the basis of the read maximum stack usage of the at least one function and a size of a usable region in a stack for the requested operation. Accordingly, the stack overflow can be prevented without generating a run-time overhead.

Abstract: Provided are a multitasking method and apparatus. By continuously maintaining the intrinsic information of each peripheral processing unit of when a process-centered task is stopped, when a reconfigurable array stops executing the process-centered task and executes a different process-centered task, by stopping executing a control-centered task and executing a reconfiguration task, only when the reconfigurable array receives an execution request of the reconfiguration task while the reconfigurable array is performing the control-centered task, or by causing a predetermined number of processing units to execute each of a plurality of reconfiguration tasks that are to be simultaneously executed by the reconfigurable array, wherein the predetermined number of processing units is set in consideration of an expected data processing amount required for the reconfiguration task, the reconfigurable array can more quickly complete execution of multitasking.

Abstract: A kernel-aware debugging system, medium, and method. The kernel-aware debugging system may include a kernel-aware debugging interface including a conditional breakpoint setting unit which sets a kernel-aware conditional breakpoint by checking a currently operating object inside a kernel of a target system when a central processing unit (CPU) of the target system stops operating at a particular position where the breakpoint is set and making the CPU proceed to operate when it is determined that it is not intended that the currently operating object be debugged. Moreover, the kernel-aware debugging interface may include a unit which stores control flow information for detecting faults due to asynchronous events, a profiling unit which collects profile information and allows back-tracing when faults occur, and a unit which debugs a synchronization problem between multitasks.
