Multicore processors are being extensively used by real-time systems, mainly because of
their demand for increased computing power. However, multicore processors have shared …

Many safety-critical embedded systems are subject to certification requirements. However,
only a subset of the functionality of the system may be safety-critical and hence subject to …

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

Much of the power of modern Web comes from the ability of a Web page to combine content
and JavaScript code from disparate servers on the same page. While the ability to create …

This paper introduces the Dirichlet-Rescale (DRS) algorithm. The DRS algorithm provides
an efficient general-purpose method of generating n-dimensional vectors of components (eg …

As multicore platforms become ever larger, overhead-related factors play a greater role in
determining which real-time scheduling algorithms are preferable. In this paper, such factors …

A large class of embedded systems is distinguished from general-purpose computing
systems by the need to satisfy strict requirements on timing, often under constraints on …

Without the use of caches the increasing gap between processor and memory speeds in
modern embedded microprocessors would have resulted in memory access times becoming …

We derive demand-bound functions for mixed-criticality sporadic tasks, and use these to
determine EDF-schedulability. Tasks have different demand-bound functions for each …

This paper presents vCAT, a novel design for dynamic shared cache management on
multicore virtualization platforms based on Intel's Cache Allocation Technology (CAT). Our …
