Basic System-Level Software for a Single-Core MERASA Processor
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the EC FP-7 MERASA project a hard real-time capable multi-core processor is developed. The system-level software represents an abstraction layer between application software and embedded hardware. It has to provide basic functions of a real-time operating system. This report presents requirements for a multi-threaded hard real-time capable system-level software in embedded systems and the transfer to the implemented MERASA / CareCore single-core processor showing details of the thread management, the dynamic memory management and the resource management. It summarizes the MERASA system-level software version 1 developed for a single multi-threaded core processor running on the CarCore / MERASA SystemC Simulator version 1.

WCET Analysis of a Parallel 3D Multigrid Solver Executed on the MERASA Multi-Core
To meet performance requirements as well as constraints on cost and power consumption, future embedded systems will be designed with multi-core processors. However, the question of timing analysability is raised with these architectures. In the MERASA project, a WCET-aware multicore processor has been designed with the appropriate system software. They both guarantee that the WCET of tasks runn...
متن کاملUltra-Low-Energy DSP Processor Design for Many-Core Parallel Applications
Background and Objectives: Digital signal processors are widely used in energy constrained applications in which battery lifetime is a critical concern. Accordingly, designing ultra-low-energy processors is a major concern. In this work and in the first step, we propose a sub-threshold DSP processor. Methods: As our baseline architecture, we use a modified version of an existing ultra-low-power...
متن کاملDesign of Multi-core Processor Software with Pipelining Strategy
At present, in the field of application of numerous IT, multi-core processors are widely used, the hardware development is much faster than the speed of software development. Multi-core processor software is using the design concept of single-core processor software, so this software is not highperformance and the performance processor is not fully played. This paper firstly introduces the trad...
متن کاملEvaluation of Different Multithreaded and Multicore Processor Configurations for SoPC
Multicore processors get more and more popular, even in embedded systems. Unfortunately, these types of processors require a special kind of programming technique to offer their full performance, i.e. they require a high thread-level parallelism. In this paper we evaluate the performance of different configurations of the same processor core within an SoPC: a single threaded single core, a mult...
متن کاملReliable and Efficient Execution of Multiple Streaming Applications on Intel's SCC Processor
Intel’s Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC) is a prototype architecture for on-chip many-core systems. By incorporating 48 cores into a single die, it provides unique opportunities to gain insights into manycore software development. Earlier results have shown that programming efficient and reliable software for many-core processors is difficult due to a lack of appropriate programming tools. In t...
