HMB: Scheduling PREM-Like Real-Time Tasks at High Memory Bandwidth (Invited Paper)

Authors: Mohammadhassan Gholami Derouei, Paolo Valente, Marco Solieri, and Andrea Marongiu


Abstract
Current homogeneous and heterogeneous computing systems reach high performance through parallelization. Yet, parallel execution of tasks entails non-trivial latency-vs-throughput issues when it comes to concurrent accesses to shared memory. In this respect, effective bandwidth regulation solutions do exist, and provide a basic mechanism to control the latency of memory accesses. Such solutions, though, are often cumbersome to deploy and to configure to guarantee both bounded latency and high utilization of the memory bandwidth. The problem is that memory latency varies non-linearly with the number and type of concurrent accesses, and the latter may in turn vary with time, often unpredictably. For this reason, previous attempts at memory regulation in scheduling solutions resulted either in poor real-time execution guarantees, or in severe underutilization of the memory bandwidth. In this paper, we outline High Memory Bandwidth (HMB), a scheduling solution that guarantees bounded response times to real-time task sets through memory regulation, while also reaching a high utilization memory bandwidth. Since the complete solution is complex, just like the problem it addresses, this preliminary work defines in full detail only the core mechanism. This mechanism builds on the notion of memory access slowdown experienced by any processor performing back-to-back memory operations; this slowdown is due to the interference generated by other processors also accessing the memory at the same time. The core mechanism assumes that each processor can tolerate a certain amount of slowdown before the timing behavior of the task(s) it is running is compromised. Each processor has a priority assigned: the higher the priority, the more stringent the timing requirements. The slowdown can be controlled by regulating with precision the maximum amount of system bandwidth each processor is allowed to use, based on its priority. The proposed mechanism finds the maximum bandwidth each processor can use such that the highest number of processors simultaneously accessing memory is found (thus avoiding memory bandwidth underutilization) while guaranteeing that the slowdown of each processor is kept within the tolerated limits.

A Multi-Modal Distributed Real-Time IoT System for Urban Traffic Control (Invited Paper)

Authors: Zeba Khanam, Vejey Pradeep Suresh Achari, Issam Boukhennoufa, Anish Jindal, and Amit Kumar Singh


Abstract
Traffic congestion is one of the growing urban problem with associated problems like fuel wastage, loss of lives, and slow productivity. The existing traffic system uses programming logic control (PLC) with round-robin scheduling algorithm. Recent works have proposed IoT-based frameworks that use traffic density of each lane to control traffic movement, but they suffer from low accuracy due to lack of emergency vehicle image datasets for training deep neural networks. In this paper, we propose a novel distributed IoT framework that is based on two observations. The first observation is major structural changes to road are rare. This observation is exploited by proposing a novel two stage vehicle detector that is able to achieve 77% vehicle detection accuracy on UA-DETRAC dataset. The second observation is emergency vehicle have distinct siren sound that is detected using a novel acoustic detection algorithm on an edge device. The proposed system is able to detect emergency vehicles with an average accuracy of 99.4%.

DynaVLC - Towards Dynamic GTS Allocation in VLC Networks (Invited Paper)

Authors: Harrison Kurunathan, Miguel Gutiérrez Gaitán, Ramiro Sámano-Robles, and Eduardo Tovar


Abstract
Envisioned to deliver superior Quality of Service (QoS) by offering faster data rates and reduced latency in 6G communication scenarios, pioneering communication protocols like the IEEE 802.15.7 are poised to facilitate emerging application trends (e.g. metaverse). The IEEE 802.15.7 standard that supports visible light communication (VLC) provides determinism for time-critical reliable communication through its guaranteed time-slots mechanism of the contention-free period (CFP) while supporting non-time-critical communication through contention-access period (CAP). Nevertheless, the IEEE 802.15.7 MAC structure is fixed and statically defined at the beginning of the network creation. This rigid definition of the network can be detrimental when the traffic characteristics evolve dynamically, for example, due to environmental or user-driven workload conditions. To this purpose, this paper proposes a resource-aware dynamic architecture for IEEE 802.15.7 networks that efficiently adapts the superframe structure to traffic dynamics. Notably, this technique was shown to reduce the overall delay and throughput by up to 45% and 30%, respectively, when compared to the traditional IEEE 802.15.7 protocol performance under the same network conditions.

History-Based Run-Time Requirement Enforcement of Non-Functional Properties on MPSoCs

Authors: Khalil Esper and Jürgen Teich


Abstract
Embedded system applications usually have requirements regarding non-functional properties of their execution like latency or power consumption. Enforcement of such requirements can be implemented by a reactive control loop, where an enforcer determines based on a system response (feedback) how to control the system, e.g., by selecting the number of active cores allocated to a program or by scaling their voltage/frequency mode. It is of a particular interest to design enforcement strategies for which it is possible to provide formal guarantees with respect to requirement violations, especially under a largely varying environmental input (workload) per execution. In this paper, we consider enforcement strategies that are modeled by a finite state machine (FSM) and the environment by a discrete-time Markov chain. Such a formalization enables the formal verification of temporal properties (verification goals) regarding the satisfaction of requirements of a given enforcement strategy. In this paper, we propose history-based enforcement FSMs which compute a reaction not just on the current, but on a fixed history of K previously observed system responses. We then analyze the quality of such enforcement FSMs in terms of the probability of satisfying a given set of verification goals and compare them to enforcement FSMs that react solely on the current system response. As experimental results, we present three use cases while considering requirements on latency and power consumption. The results show that history-based enforcement FSMs outperform enforcement FSMs that only consider the current system response regarding the probability of satisfying a given set of verification goals.
