Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) establish an interdependency between the physical world and the cyber world. When considering a real world setup, CPS will receive a considerable input from the physical world that demands a timely response. Without the computer capacity to handle the input data, a CPS will not be able to react in a very short term to changes in the environment and provide proper output. Current CPS are unable to react in near real-time to challenges when considering a realistic problem size. Our objective is to harness the performance of High Performance Computing systems to make CPS capable of handling the necessary computation demands in order to be able to interact with the physical world. We present a case study on scheduling algorithms to demonstrate the current limitations in the computing performance and point possible solutions to achieve it.
