Well, picking just one is not that easy, I'd say (among many others):

- Handbook of Scheduling: Algorithms, Models, and Performance Analysis
by Joseph Y-T. Leung, James H. Anderson - ISBN-10: 1584883979
(especially cap. 30);
- Hard Real-Time Computing Systems by Giorgio C. Buttazzo
ISBN 978-1-4614-0675-4 (even if it is more about UP);
- A survey of hard real-time scheduling for multiprocessor systems
by RI Davis, A Burns - ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR), 2011
(available at http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~robdavis/papers/MPSurveyv5.0.pdf);

Probably last one is better (as is freely downloadable). We should add
something in the documentation too.

Thanks,

- Juri
