End-to-end latency analysis of cause-effect chains in an engine management system
Junchul Choi, Dong Hyun Kang, Soonhoi Ha · 2018
An engine management system consists of periodic or sporadic real-time tasks. A task is a set of runnables that may be fully preemptive or partially at runnable boundaries. A cause-effect chain is defined as a chain of runnables that are connected by the read/write dependency. We propose a novel analytical technique to estimate the end-to-end latency of a cause-effect chain by considering conservatively estimated schedule time bounds of associated runnables. The proposed approach is verified with an industrial-strength automotive benchmark.
