A Rust Framework for Real-Time Parallel Programming

Authors: Hugo Silva, Tiago Carvalho, and Luis Miguel Pinho

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 143, 30th Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies (AEiC 2026)


Abstract
Real-time systems increasingly rely on parallel execution to meet performance and timing requirements. While several programming languages provide mechanisms for combining real-time and parallel programming, Rust currently lacks dedicated frameworks that address both aspects in an integrated way. In previous work, we proposed a high-level design of a framework for real-time parallel programming in Rust. In this paper, we describe the design of a prototype implementation of this framework as a Rust library. The prototype provides abstractions for creating and managing real-time threads with priorities, as well as thread pools that enable structured parallel execution while respecting priority-based scheduling. We describe the architecture of the prototype, its implementation and illustrate its use through examples. This implementation demonstrates the feasibility of supporting real-time parallel programming patterns in Rust and serves as a foundation for future extensions of the framework.

Task-Based Constant Bandwidth Server in the Zephyr Operating System

Authors: Alexander Paschoaletto, Paulo Baltarejo Sousa, Luis Miguel Pinho, and Tiago Carvalho

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 143, 30th Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies (AEiC 2026)


Abstract
The Constant Bandwidth Server (CBS) is a widely used method to support aperiodic soft real-time tasks in a system that uses dynamic scheduling algorithms, such as Earliest Deadline First (EDF), while providing end-to-end temporal guarantees through bandwidth reservation. We have recently proposed an approach to integrate CBS with the open-source real-time operating system, Zephyr, which involves developing CBS as a separate kernel component that can be shared by multiple execution contexts. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach, which provides each task with a dedicated CBS instance, which enables fine-grained control over task execution. The paper also presents a richer support for EDF scheduling in Zephyr, which is used to support the Task-Based CBS. The proposed method is validated through test cases, demonstrating its efficiency in supporting aperiodic real-time tasks with bandwidth constraints in Zephyr.

Schedulability Analysis of OpenMP Applications Under Heuristic Task-To-Thread Mapping

Authors: Mohammad Samadi, Tiago Carvalho, Luís Miguel Pinho, and Sara Royuela

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 140, 7th Workshop on Next Generation Real-Time Embedded Systems (NG-RES 2026)


Abstract
Task-to-thread mapping is a key process in parallel applications to achieve the best possible performance. This process is even more challenging when it is required to meet the schedulability and timing requirements of critical systems. In these systems, mapping tasks to threads is usually carried out using static scheduling (i.e., offline mapping) to improve system schedulability, with several approaches being presented in the literature. Nevertheless, there has been little analysis on the impact that these static mapping approaches have on the schedulability of applications exploiting OpenMP, a model increasingly seen as a suitable mechanism to leverage the potential of parallel and heterogeneous processor architectures. This paper, therefore, performs a throughout evaluation of the recently presented heuristic task-to-thread mapping working with different heuristics through allocation and dispatching phases, compared with state-of-the-art, in terms of schedulability. This process is performed using a state-of-the-art schedulability analysis methodology through an integration of our simulator and an existing schedulability toolset. This evaluation allows for identifying the static heuristic mapping approaches that achieve tighter schedulability analysis than other methods in the literature.
