Probabilistic Schedulability Analysis for Precedence Constrained Tasks on Partitioned Multi-core

International audienceThe design of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) is facing the explosion of new functionalities requiring increased computation capacities and, thus, the introduction of multi-core processors. Moreover, some functionalities may impose precedence constraints between the programs implementing these new functionalities. While important effort has been dedicated to the scheduling of precedence constraints tasks on multi-core processors, existing work considers either partitioned scheduling for a single precedence graph defining precedence constraints between tasks, or global scheduling policies.In this paper, we consider partitioned scheduling for multiple precedence graphs defining precedence constraints between tasks. The variability of execution times and of communication times is described by probability distributions. We propose a new response time analysis over-performing existing ILP-based results. Thanks to its scalability, our solution is extendable to a probabilistic version and we validate it on a PX4 drone autopilot. Beside this autopilot for our experiments, we implemented a probabilistic extension of a multi-core processor simulator, SimSo. A priority assignment heuristic allowing parallel executions is also proposed. Thanks to its adaptation to partitioned scheduling, our heuristic has better performances than existing solutions and its performances are, also, compared against a genetic-based heuristic

Probabilistic Schedulability Analysis for Real-time Tasks with Precedence Constraints on Partitioned Multi-core

International audienceThe design of embedded systems is facing the explosion of new functionalities requiring increased computation capacities and, thus, the introduction of multi-core processors. Moreover, some functionalities may impose precedence constraints between the programs implementing them. In this paper, we consider partitioned scheduling of tasks with precedence constraints defined by multiple Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). The variability of execution and communication times is taken into account by describing them with probability distributions. Our probabilistic response time analysis is validated on random generated task sets and on a PX4 drone autopilot

Work in Progress: KDBench - towards open source benchmarks for measurement-based multicore WCET estimators

International audienceThe real-time systems community is facing the lack of benchmarks adapted to measurement-based worst-case execution time (WCET) estimators. We provide in this paper first steps towards such benchmarks by proposing them for single core microcontrollers, while we leave as future work the migration to multicore microcontrollers. The considered benchmarks are the programs of an open source drone autopilot. We conclude the paper by underlining the main difficulties of such migration
