Automobiles are getting more and more sophisticated with increased demand for more comfort and safety by customers. Due to this, the automotive Electronic Control Units (ECU) and the software applications running on these ECUs have become more complex and computationally more intensive. This has resulted in Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) migrating to multicore platforms. Optimal usage of multicore platform necessitates the design of new scheduling algorithms. In the past decade, different approaches to implement hard real time scheduling in automotive domain have been proposed for single core as well as multicore architectures. We explore different scheduling techniques proposed so far which are relevant to automotive domain and also, provide a taxonomy of these scheduling algorithms, which will help the automotive design engineer to make an informed decision.
