In general computing systems, a job (process/task) may suspend itself whilst it is waiting for
some activity to complete, eg, an accelerator to return data. In real-time systems, such self …

A unique feature of this open access textbook is to provide a comprehensive introduction to
the fundamental knowledge in embedded systems, with applications in cyber-physical …

The paper presents exact schedulability analyses for real-time systems scheduled at runtime
with a static priority pre-emptive dispatcher. The tasks to be scheduled are allowed to …

In this 25th year anniversary paper for the IEEE Real Time Systems Symposium, we review
the key results in real-time scheduling theory and the historical events that led to the …

With the widespread adoption of multicore architectures, multiprocessors are now a
standard deployment platform for (soft) real-time applications. This dissertation addresses …

From its roots in job-shop scheduling, research into fixed priority pre-emptive scheduling
theory has progressed from the artificial constraints and simplistic assumptions used in early …

The biggest single obstacle to building effective augmented reality (AR) systems is the lack
of accurate wide-area sensors for trackers that report the locations and orientations of …

This paper describes GPUSync, which is a framework for managing graphics processing
units (GPUs) in multi-GPU multicore real-time systems. GPUSync was designed with …

The port-based object is a new software abstraction for designing and implementing
dynamically reconfigurable real-time software. It forms the basis of a programming model …

We present an efficient and practical lock-free implementation of a concurrent priority queue
that is suitable for both fully concurrent (large multi-processor) systems as well as pre …
