Summary: 
This letter proves the finish time predictability of EDZL (Earliest Deadline Zero Laxity) scheduling algorithm for multiprocessor real-time systems, which is a variant of EDF. Based on the results, it also shows that EDZL can successfully schedule any periodic task set if its total utilization is not greater than (m+1)/2, where m is the number of processors.
