Performance Review of COTS-based System Architecture
نویسنده
چکیده
Commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) software has gained considerable popularity as an approach that quickly and economically creates software systems that address business requirements. The saved development time and money will be wasted if the performance evaluation of the system is deferred, potentially leading to performance issues in the system. To save on the costs of performance problem detection it is proposed to introduce a separate review of the architecture from the performance perspective, to identify and resolve any performance issues early on in the life cycle. A few areas that can be addressed as a part of the review activity are covered in this paper.

The Design of a Fault-Tolerant COTS-Based Bus Architecture for Space Applications*
The high-performance, scalability and miniaturization requirements together with the power, mass and cost constraints mandate the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components and standards in the X2000 avionics system architecture for deep-space missions. In this paper, we report our experiences and findings on the design of an IEEE 1394 compliant fault-tolerant COTS-based bus architecture...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Multi-Layer Fault-Tolerant COTS Architecture for Deep Space Missions
Fault-tolerant systems are traditionally divided into fault containment regions and custom logic is added to ensure the effects of a fault within a containment region would not propagate to the other regions. This technique may not be applicable in a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) based system. While COTS technology is attractive due to its low cost, they are not developed with the same level ...
متن کاملCriticality Analysis for COTS Software Components
Understanding the impact of the failure of a COTS software component with respect to key system properties (e.g. safety) is crucial to the successful use of COTS software products in a critical (safety-, security-, or mission-critical) application. In this paper, we describe a criticality analysis method based upon software architecture to assess the failure impact of potential COTS software co...
متن کاملInterfacing RePast with HLA Using a Generic Architecture for COTS Simulation Package Interoperability
A Distributed Multi-Agent System (MAS) is often appropriate in solving large-scale experimental problems. RePast is a well-known simulation toolkit for agent-based modeling. In order to extend the scalability of RePast, one way is to partition the model into a distributed simulation. Interfacing RePast with the High Level Architecture (HLA) is a way to build the distributed system. This has pre...
متن کاملPredictable SoC architecture based on COTS multi-core
With the increasing complexity of real-time embedded applications and the availability of Commercial-Off-TheShelf (COTS) multi-cores, time-predictable execution on these platforms has become a necessity. However, there are several challenges to achieving this predictability, primarily arising due to hardware resources shared between the cores (memory controllers, caches and shared interconnect)...
