Method Detail

addIfFeasible

public boolean addIfFeasible()
Add to the feasibility of the associated scheduler if the resulting feasibility is schedulable. If successful return true, if not return false. If there is not assigned scheduler false is returned.

Returns:
true if the resulting scheduler is feasible.

addToFeasibility

public boolean addToFeasibility()
Inform the scheduler and cooperating facilities that the resource demands (as expressed in the associated instances of SchedulingParameters, ReleaseParameters, MemoryParameters, and ProcessingGroupParameters) of this instance of Schedulable will be considered in the feasibility analysis of the associated Scheduler until further notice. Whether the resulting system is feasible or not, the addition is completed.

Returns:
true If the resulting system is feasible.

getMemoryParameters

public MemoryParameters getMemoryParameters()
Get the MemoryParameters of this schedulable object.

Returns:
a MemoryParameters value.

setMemoryParameters

public void setMemoryParameters(MemoryParameters memoryParam)
Set the MemoryParameters for this schedulable object.

Parameters:
memoryParam - the MemoryParameters for this schedulable object.

setMemoryParametersIfFeasible

public boolean setMemoryParametersIfFeasible(MemoryParameters memoryParam)
Set the MemoryParameters for this schedulable object.

Parameters:
memoryParam - the MemoryParameters for this schedulable object.
Returns:
true if the requested change keeps the system feasible.

getProcessingGroupParameters

public ProcessingGroupParameters getProcessingGroupParameters()
Get the ProcessingGroupParameters of this schedulable object.

Returns:
a ProcessingGroupParameters value

setProcessingGroupParameters

public void setProcessingGroupParameters(ProcessingGroupParameters groupParam)
Set the ProcessingGroupParameters for this schedulable object.

Parameters:
groupParam - a ProcessingGroupParameters value

setProcessingGroupParametersIfFeasible

public boolean setProcessingGroupParametersIfFeasible(ProcessingGroupParameters groupParam)
Set the ProcessingGroupParameters of this schedulable object only if the resulting task set is feasible.

Parameters:
groupParam - a ProcessingGroupParameters value
Returns:
Returns true if, after considering the values of the parameters, the task set would still be feasible. In this case the values of the parameters are changed. Returns false if, after considering the values of the parameters, the task set would not be feasible. In this case the values of the parameters are not changed.

getReleaseParameters

public ReleaseParameters getReleaseParameters()
Get the ReleaseParameters of this schedulable object.

Returns:
a ReleaseParameters value

setReleaseParameters

public void setReleaseParameters(ReleaseParameters releaseParam)

Parameters:
releaseParam - a ReleaseParameters value

setReleaseParametersIfFeasible

public boolean setReleaseParametersIfFeasible(ReleaseParameters releaseParam)
Set the ReleaseParameters for this schedulable object only if the resulting task set is feasible.

Parameters:
releaseParam - a ReleaseParameters value

getScheduler

public Scheduler getScheduler()
Get the Scheduler for this schedulable object.

Returns:
