Towards Efficient Explainability of Schedulability Properties in Real-Time Systems

Authors: Sanjoy Baruah and Pontus Ekberg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 262, 35th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2023)

Abstract
The notion of efficient explainability was recently introduced in the context of hard-real-time scheduling: a claim that a real-time system is schedulable (i.e., that it will always meet all deadlines during run-time) is defined to be efficiently explainable if there is a proof of such schedulability that can be verified by a polynomial-time algorithm. We further explore this notion by (i) classifying a variety of common schedulability analysis problems according to whether they are efficiently explainable or not; and (ii) developing strategies for dealing with those determined to not be efficiently schedulable, primarily by identifying practically meaningful sub-problems that are efficiently explainable.

The Safe and Effective Use of Low-Assurance Predictions in Safety-Critical Systems

Authors: Kunal Agrawal, Sanjoy Baruah, Michael A. Bender, and Alberto Marchetti-Spaccamela

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 262, 35th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2023)

Abstract
The algorithm-design paradigm of algorithms using predictions is explored as a means of incorporating the computations of lower-assurance components (such as machine-learning based ones) into safety-critical systems that must have their correctness validated to very high levels of assurance. The paradigm is applied to two simple example applications that are relevant to the real-time systems community: energy-aware scheduling, and classification using ML-based classifiers in conjunction with more reliable but slower deterministic classifiers. It is shown how algorithms using predictions achieve much-improved performance when the low-assurance computations are correct, at a cost of no more than a slight performance degradation even when they turn out to be completely wrong.

An Approach to Formally Specifying the Behaviour of Mixed-Criticality Systems

Authors: A. Burns and Cliff B. Jones

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 231, 34th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2022)

Abstract
This paper proposes a formal framework for describing the relationship between a criticality-aware scheduler and a set of application tasks that are assigned different criticality levels. The exposition employs a series of examples starting with scheduling simple jobs and then moving on to mixed-criticality robust and resilient tasks. The proposed formalism extends the rely-guarantee approach, which facilitates formal reasoning about the functional behaviour of concurrent systems, to address real-time properties.

Graceful Degradation in Semi-Clairvoyant Scheduling

Authors: Sanjoy Baruah and Pontus Ekberg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 196, 33rd Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2021)

Abstract
In the Vestal model of mixed-criticality systems, jobs are characterized by multiple different estimates of their actual, but unknown, worst-case execution time (WCET) parameters. Some recent research has focused upon a semi-clairvoyant model for mixed-criticality systems in which it is assumed that each job reveals upon arrival which of its WCET parameters it will respect. We study the problem of scheduling such semi-clairvoyant systems to ensure graceful degradation of service to less critical jobs in the event that the systems exhibit high-criticality behavior. We propose multiple different interpretations of graceful degradation in such systems, and derive efficient scheduling algorithms that are capable of ensuring graceful degradation under these different interpretations.

Feasibility Analysis of Conditional DAG Tasks

Authors: Sanjoy Baruah and Alberto Marchetti-Spaccamela

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 196, 33rd Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2021)

Abstract
Feasibility analysis for Conditional DAG tasks (C-DAGs) upon multiprocessor platforms is shown to be complete for the complexity class pspace. It is shown that as a consequence integer linear programming solvers (ILP solvers) are likely to prove inadequate for such analysis. A demarcation is identified between the feasibility-analysis problems on C-DAGs that are efficiently solvable using ILP solvers and those that are not, by characterizing a restricted class of C-DAGs for which feasibility analysis is shown to be efficiently solvable using ILP solvers.

The Safe and Effective Use of Learning-Enabled Components in Safety-Critical Systems

Authors: Kunal Agrawal, Sanjoy Baruah, and Alan Burns

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 165, 32nd Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2020)

Abstract
Autonomous systems increasingly use components that incorporate machine learning and other AI-based techniques in order to achieve improved performance. The problem of assuring correctness in safety-critical systems that use such components is considered. A model is proposed in which components are characterized according to both their worst-case and their typical behaviors; it is argued that while safety must be assured under all circumstances, it is reasonable to be concerned with providing a high degree of performance for typical behaviors only. The problem of assuring safety while providing such improved performance is formulated as an optimization problem in which performance under typical circumstances is the objective function to be optimized while safety is a hard constraint that must be satisfied. Algorithmic techniques are applied to derive an optimal solution to this optimization problem. This optimal solution is compared with an alternative approach that optimizes for performance under worst-case conditions, as well as some common-sense heuristics, via simulation experiments on synthetically-generated workloads.

Elastic Scheduling for Parallel Real-Time Systems

Authors: James Orr, Chris Gill, Kunal Agrawal, Jing Li, and Sanjoy Baruah

Published in: LITES, Volume 6, Issue 1 (2019). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 6, Issue 1

Abstract
The elastic task model was introduced by Buttazzo et al.~in order to represent recurrent real-time workloads executing upon uniprocessor platforms that are somewhat flexible with regards to timing constraints.  In this work, we propose an extension of this model and apply it to represent recurrent real-time workloads that exhibit internal parallelism and are executed on multiprocessor platforms. In our proposed extension, the elasticity coefficient - the quantitative measure of a task's elasticity that was introduced in the model proposed by Buttazzo et al. - is interpreted in the same manner as in the original (sequential) model. Hence, system developers who are familiar with the elastic task model in the uniprocessor context may use our more general model as they had previously done, now for real-time tasks whose computational demands require them to utilize more than one processor.

A Measurement-Based Model for Parallel Real-Time Tasks

Authors: Kunal Agrawal and Sanjoy Baruah

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 106, 30th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2018)

Abstract
Under the federated paradigm of multiprocessor scheduling, a set of processors is reserved for the exclusive use of each real-time task. If tasks are characterized very conservatively (as is typical in safety-critical systems), it is likely that most invocations of the task will have computational demand far below the worst-case characterization, and could have been scheduled correctly upon far fewer processors than were assigned to it assuming the worst-case characterization of its run-time behavior. Provided we could safely determine during run-time when all the processors are going to be needed, for the rest of the time the unneeded processors could be idled in low-energy "sleep" mode, or used for executing non-real time work in the background. In this paper we propose a model for representing parallelizable real-time tasks in a manner that permits us to do so. Our model does not require us to have fine-grained knowledge of the internal structure of the code represented by the task; rather, it characterizes each task by a few parameters that are obtained by repeatedly executing the code under different conditions and measuring the run-times.

Intractability Issues in Mixed-Criticality Scheduling

Authors: Kunal Agrawal and Sanjoy Baruah

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 106, 30th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2018)

Abstract
In seeking to develop mixed-criticality scheduling algorithms, one encounters challenges arising from two sources. First, mixed-criticality scheduling is an inherently an on-line problem in that scheduling decisions must be made without access to all the information that is needed to make such decisions optimally - such information is only revealed over time. Second, many fundamental mixed-criticality schedulability analysis problems are computationally intractable - NP-hard in the strong sense - but we desire to solve these problems using algorithms with polynomial or pseudo-polynomial running time. While these two aspects of intractability are traditionally studied separately in the theoretical computer science literature, they have been considered in an integrated fashion in mixed-criticality scheduling theory. In this work we seek to separate out the effects of being inherently on-line, and being computationally intractable, on the overall intractability of mixed-criticality scheduling problems. Speedup factor is widely used as quantitative metric of the effectiveness of mixed-criticality scheduling algorithms; there has recently been a bit of a debate regarding the appropriateness of doing so. We provide here some additional perspective on this matter: we seek to better understand its appropriateness as well as its limitations in this regard by examining separately how the on-line nature of some mixed-criticality problems, and their computational complexity, contribute to the speedup factors of two widely-studied mixed-criticality scheduling algorithms.

AdaptMC: A Control-Theoretic Approach for Achieving Resilience in Mixed-Criticality Systems

Authors: Alessandro Vittorio Papadopoulos, Enrico Bini, Sanjoy Baruah, and Alan Burns

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 106, 30th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2018)

Abstract
A system is said to be resilient if slight deviations from expected behavior during run-time does not lead to catastrophic degradation of performance: minor deviations should result in no more than minor performance degradation. In mixed-criticality systems, such degradation should additionally be criticality-cognizant. The applicability of control theory is explored for the design of resilient run-time scheduling algorithms for mixed-criticality systems. Recent results in control theory have shown how appropriately designed controllers can provide guaranteed service to hard-real-time servers; this prior work is extended to allow for such guarantees to be made concurrently to multiple criticality-cognizant servers. The applicability of this approach is explored via several experimental simulations in a dual-criticality setting. These experiments demonstrate that our control-based run-time schedulers can be synthesized in such a manner that bounded deviations from expected behavior result in the high-criticality server suffering no performance degradation and the lower-criticality one, bounded performance degradation.

Applying Real-Time Scheduling Theory to the Synchronous Data Flow Model of Computation

Authors: Abhishek Singh, Pontus Ekberg, and Sanjoy Baruah

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 76, 29th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2017)

Abstract
Schedulability analysis techniques that are well understood within the real-time scheduling community are applied to the analysis of recurrent real-time workloads that are modeled using the synchronous data-flow graph (SDFG) model. An enhancement to the standard SDFG model is proposed, that permits the specification of a real-time latency constraint between a specified input and a specified output of an SDFG. A technique is derived for transforming such an enhanced SDFG to a collection of traditional 3-parameter sporadic tasks, thereby allowing for the analysis of systems of SDFG tasks using the methods and algorithms that have previously been developed within the real-time scheduling community for the analysis of systems of such sporadic tasks. The applicability of this approach is illustrated by applying prior results from real-time scheduling theory to construct an exact preemptive uniprocessor schedulability test for collections of recurrent processes that are each represented using the enhanced SDFG model.

Mixed-Criticality Scheduling to Minimize Makespan

Authors: Sanjoy Baruah, Arvind Easwaran, and Zhishan Guo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 65, 36th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2016)

Abstract
In the mixed-criticality job model, each job is characterized by two execution time parameters, representing a smaller (less conservative) estimate and a larger (more conservative) estimate on its actual, unknown, execution time. Each job is further classified as being either less critical or more critical. The desired execution semantics are that all jobs should execute correctly provided all jobs complete upon being allowed to execute for up to the smaller of their execution time estimates, whereas if some jobs need to execute beyond their smaller execution time estimates (but not beyond their larger execution time estimates), then only the jobs classified as being more critical are required to execute correctly. The scheduling of collections of such mixed-criticality jobs upon identical multiprocessor platforms in order to minimize the makespan is considered here.
