Abstract

Embedded system applications usually have to meet real-time, energy or safety requirements on programs typically concurrently executed on a given MPSoC target platform. Enforcing such properties, e.g., by adapting the number of processors allocated to a program or by scaling the voltage/frequency mode of involved processors, is a difficult problem to solve, especially with a typically large varying environmental input (workload) per execution. In a previous work [Esper et al., 2021], we formalized the related enforcement problem using (a) finite state machines to model enforcement strategies, (b) discrete-time Markov chains to model the uncertain environment determining the system’s workload, and (c) the system response that defines the feedback for the reactive enforcer. In this paper, we apply that approach to specify and verify multi-requirement enforcement strategies and assess a case study for enforcing two independent requirements at the same time, i.e., latency and energy consumption. We evaluate and compare different enforcement strategies using probabilistic verification for the use case of an object detection application.
