A multiprocessor scheduling scheme is presented for supporting hierarchical containers that encapsulate sporadic soft and hard real-time tasks. In this scheme, each container is a...
Due to the continuously decreasing cost of FPGAs, they have become a valid implementation platform for SOCs. Typically, a soft core processor implementation is used to execute the ...
Abstract. In this paper, we take a MIPS-based open-source uniprocessor soft core, Plasma, and extend it to obtain the Beefarm infrastructure for FPGA-based multiprocessor emulation...
FIFO scheduling is often considered to be inappropriate for scheduling workloads that are subject to timing constraints. However, FIFO is implemented in many generalpurpose OSs, a...
Multiprocessor systems present serious challenges in the design of real-time systems due to the wider variation of execution time of an instruction sequence compared to a uniproce...
