The synchronous dataflow graph (SDFG) model is widely used today for modeling real-time applications in safety-critical application domains. Schedulability analysis techniques that are well understood within the real-time scheduling community are applied to the analysis of recurrent real-time workloads that are represented using this model. An enhancement to the standard SDFG model is proposed, which supports the specification of a real-time latency constraint between a specified input and a specified output of an SDFG. A polynomial-time algorithm is derived for representing the computational requirement of each such enhanced SDFG task in terms of the notion of the demand bound function (DBF), which is widely used in real-time scheduling theory for characterizing computational requirements of recurrent processes represented by, e.g., the sporadic task model. By so doing, the extensive DBF-centered machinery that has been developed in real-time scheduling theory for the hard-real-time schedulability analysis of systems of recurrent tasks may be applied to the analysis of systems represented using the SDFG model as well. The applicability of this approach is illustrated by applying prior results from real-time scheduling theory to construct an exact preemptive uniprocessor schedulability test for collections of independent recurrent processes that are each represented using the enhanced SDFG model.
