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 …

In the last decade there has been a steady uptrend in the popularity of embedded multi-core
platforms. This represents a turning point in the theory and implementation of real-time …

This work proposes solutions for bounding the worst-case memory space requirement for
parallel tasks running on multicore platforms with scratchpad memories. It introduces a …

Software reuse is a popular practice, which is constantly gaining ground among
practitioners. The main reason for this is the potential that it provides for reducing …

Scheduling tasks using the three-phase execution model (load-execute-unload) can
effectively reduce the contention on shared resources in real-time systems. Due to system …

This book describes a cross-domain architecture and design tools for networked complex
systems where application subsystems of different criticality coexist and interact on …

Ensuring temporal predictability of real-time systems on a multi-core platform is difficult,
mainly due to hard to predict delays related to shared access to the main memory. Task …

The embedded computing revolution is pushing the transition from a single-core processor
to a multicore processor where multiple single-core processors are packed into a single …

Real-time systems are computer systems that are required not only to produce the correct
output values, as a reaction to the system inputs, but also to produce these values at the …

Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architectures (CGRA) are designed to deliver high
performance while drastically reducing the latency of the computing system. There are …
