Improving the Accuracy of Cache-Aware Response Time Analysis Using Preemption Partitioning

Authors: Filip Marković, Jan Carlson, Sebastian Altmeyer, and Radu Dobrin

Abstract
Schedulability analyses for preemptive real-time systems need to take into account cache-related preemption delays (CRPD) caused by preemptions between the tasks. The estimation of the CRPD values must be sound, i.e. it must not be lower than the worst-case CRPD that may occur at runtime, but also should minimise the pessimism of estimation. The existing methods over-approximate the computed CRPD upper bounds by accounting for multiple preemption combinations which cannot occur simultaneously during runtime. This over-approximation may further lead to the over-approximation of the worst-case response times of the tasks, and therefore a false-negative estimation of the system’s schedulability. In this paper, we propose a more precise cache-aware response time analysis for sporadic real-time systems under fully-preemptive fixed priority scheduling. The evaluation shows a significant improvement over the existing state of the art approaches.

Tightening the Bounds on Cache-Related Preemption Delay in Fixed Preemption Point Scheduling

Authors: Filip Markovic, Jan Carlson, and Radu Dobrin

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 57, 17th International Workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis (WCET 2017)

Abstract
Limited Preemptive Fixed Preemption Point scheduling (LP-FPP) has the ability to decrease and control the preemption-related overheads in the real-time task systems, compared to other limited or fully preemptive scheduling approaches. However, existing methods for computing the preemption overheads in LP-FPP systems rely on over-approximation of the evicting cache blocks (ECB) calculations, potentially leading to pessimistic schedulability analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel method for preemption cost calculation that exploits the benefits of the LP-FPP task model both at the scheduling and cache analysis level. The method identifies certain infeasible preemption combinations, based on analysis on the scheduling level, and combines it with cache analysis information into a constraint problem from which less pessimistic upper bounds on cache-related preemption delays (CRPD) can be derived. The evaluation results indicate that our proposed method has the potential to significantly reduce the upper bound on CRPD, by up to 50% in our experiments, compared to the existing over-approximating calculations of the eviction scenarios.
