ASIIST: Application Specific I/O Integration Support Tool for Real-Time Bus Architecture Designs

In hard real-time systems such as avionics, computer board level designs are typically customized to meet specific reliability and real time requirements. This paper focuses on computer-aided application-specific design of I/O architecture using PCI as an example. We have built a tool (ASIIST) that will enable engineers to explore design spaces at the I/O bus architecture level, performing analysis that incorporates bus protocols, to provide guarantees of real-time properties.
