    Workshop of ACM/IEEE 17th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MoDELS 2014)International audienceSynchronous programming models capture concurrency in computation quite naturally, especially in its dataflow multi-clock (polychronous) flavor. With the rising importance of multi-core processors in safety-critical embedded systems or cyber-physical systems (CPS), there is a growing need for model-driven generation of multi-threaded code for multi-core systems. This paper proposes a build method of timepredictable system on multi-core, based on synchronous-model development. At the modeling level, the synchronous abstraction allows deterministic time semantics. Thus synchronous programming is a good choice for time-predictable system design. At the compiler level, the verified compiler from the synchronous language SIGNAL to our intermediate representation (S-CGA, a variant of guarded actions) and to multi-threaded code, preserves the time predictability. At the platform level, we propose a time-predictable multi-core architecture model in AADL (Architecture Analysis and Design Language), and then we map the multi-threaded code to this model. Therefore, our method integrates time predictability across several design layers

    Simulation of real-time systems with clock calculus

    International audienceSafety–critical real-time systems need to be modeled and simulated early in the development of lifecycle. SIGNAL is a data-flow synchronous language with clocks widely used in modeling of such systems. Due to the synchronous features of SIGNAL, clock calculus is essential in compilation and simulation. This paper proposes a new methodology for clock calculus that takes data dependencies into consideration. In this way, simulation code can be directly generated by using a depth-first traversal algorithm. In addition, a clock insertion method based on clock-implication checking is presented to obtain an optimized control structure
