ABSTRACT:
Many of today industrial software applications e.g., trains, autonomous utility vehicles, aviation, smart grid power management etc., require high performance, predictability and dependability guarantees. While the state of the art COTS hardware systems provide high performance through parallelization, dependability and predictability are still challenging. In this talk I will present some results, and ongoing activates within the "DPAC Dependable Platforms for Autonomous systems and Control" project. Multicore and heterogeneous system (including GPU and FPGA) architectures are considered. We investigate how heavy parallel applications use low-level resources (e.g., machine learning, video feature detection algorithms) and try to optimize the scheduling and allocation accordingly. In addition, we investigate how to provide different levels of isolation between different applications sharing the system resources.
