Abstract

A scheduling method of a system on chip including a multi-core processor includes receiving a schedule-requested task, converting a priority assigned to the schedule-requested task into a linear priority weight, selecting a plurality of candidate cores, to which the schedule-requested task will be assigned, from among cores of the multi-core processor, calculating a preemption compare index indicating a current load state of each of the plurality of candidate cores, comparing the linear priority weight with the preemption compare index of the each of the plurality of candidate cores to generate a comparison result, and assigning the schedule-requested task to one candidate core of the plurality of candidate cores depending on the comparison result.
