Fast kernel boot-time is one of the major concerns in industrial embedded systems. Application domains where boot time is relevant include (among others) automation, automotive, avionics etc. Linux is one of the big players among operating system solutions for general embedded systems, hence, a relevant question is how fast Linux can boot on typical hardware platforms (ARM9) used in such industrial...
In this paper we present a new synchronization protocol called RRP (Rollback Resource Policy) which is compatible with hierarchically scheduled open systems and specialized for resources that can be aborted and rolled back. We conduct an extensive event-based simulation and compare RRP against all equivalent existing protocols in hierarchical fixed priority preemptive scheduling; SIRAP (Subsystem...
The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is becoming a very powerful platform to accelerate graphics and dataparallel compute-intensive applications. It gives a high performance and at the same time it has a low power consumption. This combination is of high performance and low power consumption is useful when it comes to building an embedded system. In this paper we are looking at the possibility to use...
Scheduling theory and algorithms have been well studied in the real-time systems literature. Many useful approaches and solutions have appeared in different problem domains. While their theoretical effectiveness has been extensively discussed, the community is now facing implementation challenges that show the impact of the algorithms in practice. In this paper, we propose a scheduler framework, called...
Hierarchical scheduling provides a modular framework for integrating, scheduling and guaranteeing timing constraints of compositional real-time systems. In such a scheduling framework, all modules should receive a sufficient portion of the shared CPU to be able to guarantee timing constraints of their internal parts. In dynamic systems i.e., systems where the execution time of tasks are subjected...
Virtualization is a well used technique in the area of internet server systems for managing several (legacy) applications on a single physical machine. These applications do not have strict time deadlines, which also reflects how these applications are scheduled. Using virtualization in an embedded real-time systems context is of course attractive, since we want to pack as much software as possible...
Hierarchical scheduling has major benefits when it comes to integrating hard real-time applications. One of those benefits is that it gives a clear runtime separation of applications in the time domain. This in turn gives a protection against timing error propagation in between applications. However, these benefits rely on the assumption that the scheduler itself schedules applications correctly according...
