Project description Embedded Systems DesignVerification of timing properties of CRTE systems (single- and multi- core) using Probabilistic Timing Analysis Show the project objective Hide the project objective There is an ever-increasing demand both for new functionality and for reduced development and production costs for all kinds of Critical Real-Time Embedded (CRTE) systems (safety, mission or business critical). Moreover, new functionality demands can only be delivered by more complex software and aggressive hardware acceleration features like memory hierarchies and multicore processors. However, these greatly increase system complexity, making it much more difficult to analyse applications for their temporal behaviour. Another key problem of CRTE systems is the need to prove that they operate correctly, satisfying all temporal constraints. The current generation of platforms, despite being based on comparatively simple and old processor technologies, are already extremely difficult to analyse for their temporal behaviour, and resulting errors in operation, cost EU industries billions of Euros annually in warranty and post-production costs.The PROARTIS thesis is that the timing behaviour of systems that use advanced hardware features like multicore CPUs and complex memory hierarchies can be analysed effectively by probabilistic timing analysis techniques that reduce the risk of temporal pathological cases to quantifiably negligible levels. Preliminary research results in cache replacement policies by members of the PROARTIS consortium strongly support this claim. PROARTIS defines new hardware and software architecture paradigms based on the concept of randomisation that, with minimal changes to current processes and methods, guarantee timing behaviours that can be analysed with probabilistic techniques. PROARTIS uses a holistic approach in which probabilistic analysis extends from hardware design, compiler and real time operating system to applications. On top of this platform, we will build probabilistic timing analysis methods based on current commercial tools. We will validate our approach via an industrial case study.
