Abstract [en]

In this paper, we show that both global as well as local schedulability analysis of synchronization protocols based on the stack resource protocol (SRP) and overrun without payback for hierarchical scheduling frameworks based on fixed-priority pre-emptive scheduling (FPPS) are pessimistic.We present improved global and local schedulability analysis,illustrate the improvements by means of examples, and show that the improved global analysis is both uniform and sustainable.We evaluate the improved global and local schedulabilityanalysis based on an extensive simulation study and comparethe results with the existing analysis.

Abstract [en]

In this thesis we propose techniques to simplify the integration of subsystems while minimizing the overall amount of CPU resources needed to guarantee the schedulability of real-time tasks. In addition, we provide solutions to the problem of allowing for the use of logical resources requiring mutual exclusion.

The contribution of the thesis is presented in three parts. In the first part, we propose a synchronization protocol, called SIRAP, to facilitate sharing of logical resources in a hierarchical scheduling framework. In addition, we extend an existing synchronization protocol, called HSRP, such that each subsystem can be developed independently. The performance of the proposed protocols is evaluated by extensive simulations. In the second part, we present an efficient schedulability analysis that exploits the lower scheduling overhead introduced by each of the proposed protocols. Finally, in the third part, we propose new methods and algorithms that find the optimal system parameters (e.g., optimal resource ceiling), that minimize the amount of CPU resources required to ensure schedulability, when using the proposed synchronization protocols in a hierarchical scheduling framework.

The motivation of this work comes from an emerging industrial trend in embedded software systems development to integrate multiple applications (subsystems) on a small number of processors. The purpose of this integration is to reduce the hardware related costs as well as the communication complexity between processors. In this setting a large number of industrial applications face the problem of preserving their real-time properties after their integration onto a single processor. In addition, temporal isolation between the applications during runtime may be required to prevent failure propagation between different applications.

Specifically, we propose a hierarchical scheduling framework that allows for a simplified integration of subsystems. The framework preserves the essential temporal characteristics of the subsystems, both when running in isolation as well as when they are integrated with other subsystems. In this thesis, we assume a model where a system consists of a number of subsystems. The subsystems can interact with each other using shared logical resources. The framework ensures that the individual subsystem respects its allocated share of the processor. The difficulty lies in allowing two or more subsystems to share logical resources, which introduces an additional complexity in the schedulability analysis and also increases the system load.
