RTOS Speedup Methods for Hard Real-time Systems Based on Embedded RSOC

Speaker: Yi Tang, ITEE

When: 2006-11-21 14:00:00

Venue: 78-622

Host: Neil Bergmann

Abstract:

This project investigates Real Time Operating System (RTOS) speedup
methods for Hard Real-time systems. Timing predictability is
introduced as a system performance metric and analysed in detail. A
review of some recent research related to RTOS speedup is undertaken
and focuses on system predictability. The major research objective
is proposed which explores targeting architecture-level and OS-level
predictability.

To implement the objective and solve the research questions, a
system architecture is proposed which adds FPGA-based hardware
support for key operating system functions to a soft-core FPGA-based
processor. Experiments are proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of
such an architecture in improving timing predictability for hard
RTOS.
