Exploiting parallelism in high performance embedded system scheduling
Binoy Ravindran, Lonnie R. Welch · 2002
This paper defines a new paradigm for high performance embedded systems. We present a model of distributed embedded control system software to capture the real-time computing requirements of complex computer-based systems. The hierarchical software architecture defines the notion of a software path the construct identified by studying embedded real-time applications. We present a technique for dynamic scheduling of sporadic paths. The novel feature of the approach is to enhance schedulability through high performance concurrent computing.
