The Multi-Domain Frame Packing Problem for CAN-FD

Authors: Prachi Joshi, Haibo Zeng, Unmesh D. Bordoloi, Soheil Samii, S. S. Ravi, and Sandeep K. Shukla

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

Abstract
The Controller Area Network with Flexible Data-Rate (CAN-FD) is a new communication protocol to meet the bandwidth requirements for the constantly growing volume of data exchanged in modern vehicles. The problem of frame packing for CAN-FD, as studied in the literature, assumes a single sub-system where one CAN-FD bus serves as the communication medium among several Electronic Control Units (ECUs). Modern automotive electronic systems, on the other hand, consist of several sub-systems, each facilitating a certain functional domain such as powertrain, chassis and suspension. A substantial fraction of all signals is exchanged across sub-systems. In this work, we study the frame packing problem for CAN-FD with multiple sub-systems, and propose a two-stage optimization framework. In the first stage, we pack the signals into frames with the objective of minimizing the bandwidth utilization. In the second stage, we extend Audsley's algorithm to assign priorities/identifiers to the frames. In case the resulting solution is not schedulable, our framework provides a potential repacking method. We propose two solution approaches: (a) an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) formulation that provides an optimal solution but is computationally expensive for industrial-size problems; and (b) a greedy heuristic that scales well and provides solutions that are comparable to optimal solutions. Experimental results show the efficiency of our optimization framework in achieving feasible solutions with low bandwidth utilization. The results also show a significant improvement over the case when there is no cross-domain consideration (as in prior work).

Complexity of Scheduling in Synthesizing Hardware from Concurrent Action Oriented Specifications

Authors: Gaurav Singh, S. S. Ravi, Sumit Ahuja, and Sandeep Shukla

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7041, Power-aware Computing Systems (2007)

Abstract
Concurrent Action Oriented Specifications (CAOS) formalism such as Bluespec Inc.'s Bluespec System Verilog (BSV) has been recently shown to be effective for hardware modeling and synthesis. This formalism offers the benefits of automatic handling of concurrency issues in highly concurrent system descriptions, and the associated synthesis algorithms have been shown to produce efficient hardware comparable to those generated from hand-written Verilog/VHDL. These benefits which are inherent in such a synthesis process also aid in faster architectural exploration. This is because CAOS allows a high-level description (above RTL) of a design in terms of atomic transactions, where each transaction corresponds to a collection of operations. Optimal scheduling of such actions in CAOS-based synthesis process is crucial in order to generate hardware that is efficient in terms of area, latency and power. In this paper, we analyze the complexity of the scheduling problems associated with CAOS-based synthesis and discuss several heuristics for meeting the peak power goals of designs generated from CAOS. We also discuss approximability of these problems as appropriate.
