Multi-Core Performance Modeling forReal-Time Systems READY. RUN
Investigators • Juraj, Thijmen, Heiko, Jens F., Michael W.
Differencebetweenhard RT and soft RT • Hard RT usually in safety-criticalenvironmentswherepeoplecanbeharmed (e.g., aviation) • Soft RT for non-criticalenvironments (e.g., telco)
New challengeswith MC hardware • Wherearethebottlenecks? • I/O (withsensorsandactuators) • Memory bus • Howimportantarecachingeffects? Underwhatcircumstances? • Cycle rate etc.
Differencesbetweendistributedand MC? • MC systemeasier? messagesdon'tget lost etc. • Is thereworkfor real-time distributedsystems? • In embedded, focus on optimizingscheduleretc • In distributed, focus on optimizingmiddlewareparameters
Elements of RT performancemodels • Computationresources: CPUs, CPU cores, GPUs, FPGAs, DSPs, …. • Properties ofcommunicationresources (e.g., frequency, cachesize - oralternatively, ACET/WCET ofcomponents on the different resources) • Bandwithofmemorybus (ifsharedbetweencores) • Communication costsbetweenresources (e.g., if on the same die or not) • Communication bandwidthsof different communicationmechanisms • OS and VM properties (e.g., contextswitching time) • I/O model (frequency, bandwidth, throughput, communicationwithcomputationresources) • Different typesoftasks (littlecomputation/lots of I/O vs. Lots ofcomputation/little I/O)
