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 …

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 …

When adopting multi-core systems for safety-critical applications, certification requirements
mandate bounding the delays incurred in accessing shared resources. This is the case of …

Next generation automotive applications require support for safe, predictable, and
deterministic execution. The Logical Execution Time (LET) model has been introduced to …

Most recurrent real-time applications can be modeled as a set of sequential code segments
(or blocks) that must be (repeatedly) executed in a specific order. In this paper, we provide a …

We systematically survey the literature on analytically sound multiprocessor real-time
locking protocols from 1988 until the end of 2017, covering the following topics: Progress …

Nowadays, hypervisors are the standard solution to integrate different domains into a shared
hardware platform, while providing safety, security, and predictability. To this end, a …

All major real-time suspension-based locking protocols (or semaphore protocols) for global
fixed-priority scheduling are reviewed and a new, unified response-time analysis framework …

When concurrent real-time tasks have to access shared resources, to prevent race
conditions, the synchronization and resource access must ensure mutual exclusion, eg, by …

In an embedded real-time system (ERTS), real-time tasks (software) are typically executed
on a multicore shared-memory platform (hardware). The number of cores is usually small …
