Multi-level Intelligent Synthesis and Simulation Environment (MISSE) is an object-oriented, top-down, high-level design environment for multiprocessor systems. Three important aspects of multiprocessor system design: modeling, synthesis, and simulation are supported in MISSE. First, multiprocessor systems are hierarchically classified and system parts modeled as objects with interrelationships....

The problems of multiprocessor partitioning and program allocation are interdependent and critical to the performance of multiprocessor systems Minimizing resource partitions for parallel programs on partitionable multiprocessors facilitates greater processor utilization and throughput The pro cessing resource requirements of parallel programs vary during program execution and are allocation de...

A multiprocessor system-on-chip is an integrated system that performs realtime tasks at low power and for low cost. The stringent requirements on multiprocessor systems-on-chips force us to use advanced design methods to create these systems. Both hardware and software design must be taken into account. In this paper, we will survey some important challenges in the design

In this paper, we propose a synchronous protocol without periodicity for scheduling multi-mode real-time systems upon identical multiprocessor platforms. Our proposal can be considered to be a multiprocessor extension of the uniprocessor protocol called “Minimal Single Offset protocol”.

A uniform multiprocessor machine is comprised of an integer number of processors. Each processor P is characterized by a computing capacity P:c with the interpretation that a job executing on processor P for t time units completes (Pj:c t) units of execution. The scheduling of systems of periodic tasks on uniform multiprocessor systems is considered.

Motivation Multiprocessor and multicore platforms are becoming widespread For real-time systems the control of affinities is as important as the control of priorities Ada05 allows, but does not support, multiprocessor execution Reliable Software Technology – p. 2/26

As the cost of processor hardware declines, multiprocessor architectures become increasingly cost-effective and represent an important area for future research. In order to exploit the full potential of multiprocessors, however, it is necessary to understand how to design software which can make effective use of the available parallelism. This paper considers the impact of multiprocessor archit...

Real-time operating systems (RTOS) for multiprocessor systems built on a single FPGA should be configurable to a wide rage of architecture. Because the configuration of RTOS depends on hardware architecture, it is advantageous to co-configure multiprocessor architecture and RTOS simultaneously. This paper is a work-in-progress report of our research on configurable RTOS and co-configuration
