Abstract [en]

Component-based software development providesa modular approach to develop complex software systems. In the context of real-time systems, it is desirable to abstract the timing properties of software components using an interface foreach component. The timing properties of the whole system, composed of multiple components, is studied using the component interfaces. In this paper we focus on periodic interface models. In the case of components developed for single processor platforms, for examining the system schedulability, the interfaces can be regarded as periodic tasks. Thus, making it possible to use the conventional schedulability analyses for the system level schedulability test. In the case of components developed formultiprocessors, since interfaces may have utilization larger than 100 % of a single processor, it is not possible to directly use the component interfaces for the system schedulability test. There-fore, the interfaces have to be decomposed before performing thesystem level schedulability test. In this paper, we target the special case of partitioned EDF for scheduling the components integrated on a multiprocessor. Therefore, the system level schedulability test is equivalent to finding a feasible allocation of component interfaces on the multiprocessor. We propose two algorithms for allocating the multiprocessor periodic interfaces. In addition, we propose anorthogonal approach for developing component-based real-timesystems on multiprocessors in which components with utilizationmore than 100 % of a single processor are divided into smaller subcomponents before abstracting their interfaces. We show, through extensive evaluations, that our alternative approach significantly reduces the interface overhead.

Abstract [en]

Modern computer systems are often designed to play a multipurpose role. Therefore, they are capable of running a number of software components (software programs) simultaneously in parallel. These software components should share the system resources (e.g. processor and network) such that all of them run and finish their computations as expected. On the other hand, a number of software components have timing requirements meaning that they should not only access the resources, but this access should also be in a timely manner. Thus, there is a need to timely share the resources among different software components. The time-sharing is often realized by reserving a time-portion of resources for each component. Such a reservation should be adequate and resource-efficient. It should be sufficient to preserve the timing properties of the components. Also, the reservations should be resource-efficient to reduce the components' footprint on the resources which in turn allows integration of more software components on a given hardware resource. In this thesis, we mainly focus on the resource-efficiency of the reservations. We consider two cases. (I) Components which can tolerate occasional timing violations (soft real-time components): in this case we adjust the reservations during run-time to match the reservation sizes based on the instantaneous requirements of the components. (II) Components which cannot tolerate any timing violations (hard real-time components): in this case we use flexible approaches which allow us to improve the resource-efficiency at the design time.

Abstract [sv]

Moderna datasystem är ofta utformade för att spela en mångsidig roll. De är därför kapabla till att köra flera mjukvarukomponenter (programvaror) samtidigt. Dessa mjukvarukomponenter delar systemresurser (t.ex. processorn och nätverket) under körning. Målet med mjukvarukomponentens körning är att avsluta sina beräkningar som förväntat. Vissa mjukvarukomponenter har även tidskrav vilket innebär att de inte bara kräver tillgång till systemresurser för att köra sina beräkningar, utan de har även krav på när denna tillgång sker för att mjukvarukomponenterna ska för rätt funktion kunna garantera att beräkningar utförs i rätt tid. Således finns det ett behov av att snabbt dela resurser mellan olika mjukvarukomponenter. Den tids-delning realiseras ofta genom att reservera en tidslucka för komponenten då denna är tänkt att och får använda resursen. Reservationen måste vara tillräcklig för att mjukvarukomponenten ska kunna köra som förväntat. Reservationen måste även tilldelas resurseffektivt dvs resurstid får inte slösas bort i onödan. Genom en resurseffektiv reservation av resurserminskar komponentens fotavtryck på resursen som i sin tur möjliggör integration av flera programvarukomponenter på samma resurs. Denna avhandling fokuserar främst på resurseffektivitet i samband med reservationerna. Två fall behandlas. (I) Komponenter som tål att missa vissa enstaka tidskrav (så kallade mjuka realtidskomponenter): i det här fallet anpassas reservationerna under körning enligt komponenternas ständigt föränderliga önskemål på reservationsstorlek. (II) Komponenter som inte kan hantera att tidskrav överträds (så kallade hårda realtidskomponenter): i det här fallet används flexibla strategier som möjliggör  förbättrad resurseffektiviteten redan vid design av systemet.
