  abstract=      "In this paper the performance gain obtained by combining
     parallel
periodic real-time processes is elaborated.  In
     certain single-core
mono-processor configurations, for
     example embedded control systems in
robotics comprising many
     short processes, process context switches may
consume a
     considerable amount of the available processing power. 
     For
this reason it can be advantageous to combine processes,
     to reduce the
number of context switches and thereby
     increase the performance of the
application.  As we consider
     robotic applications only, often
consisting of processes
     with identical periods, release times and
deadlines, we
     restrict these configurations to periodic
     real-time
processes executing on a single-core
     mono-processor.  By graph
theoretical concepts and means, we
     provide necessary and sufficient
conditions so that the
     number of context switches can be reduced by
combining
     synchronising processes."
