Dependable and power-efficient real-time systems

This project aimed to address a wide range of issues relating to time analysability of next generation space systems. The key challenge addressed how to use multicores in an effective way and achieving adequate levels of guarantee of the timing correctness. There were four main themes in the ITT:

1. Choice of scheduling and...

Engineers who design hard real-time embedded systems express a need for several times the performance available today while keeping safety as major criterion. A breakthrough in performance is expected by parallelising hard real-time applications. parMERASA targets a timing analysable system of parallel hard real-time applications running on a scalable multi-core processor....

The increasing demand for functionality in current and future real-time embedded systems is driving an increase in performance of processors. However at the same time, in developing safety-related real-time embedded systems, there is a need to prove that the timing requirements are met. Multi-core processors are increasingly being considered as the solution to achieve the...
