Published in: OASIcs, Volume 121, 22nd International Workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis (WCET 2024)


Abstract
Main memory sharing in commercial, FPGA-based Heterogeneous System on Chips (HeSoCs) can cause significant interference, and ultimately severe slowdown of the executing workload, which bars the adoption of such systems in the context of time-critical applications. Bandwidth regulation approaches based on monitoring and throttling are widely adopted also in commercial hardware to improve the system quality of service (QoS), and previous work has shown that the finer the granularity of the mechanism, the more effective the QoS control. Different mechanisms, however, might exploit more or less effectively the available residual memory bandwidth, provided that the QoS requirement is satisfied. In this paper we present an exhaustive experimental evaluation of how three bandwidth regulation mechanisms with coarse, fine and ultra-fine granularity compare in terms of exploitation of the system memory bandwidth. Our results show that a very fine-grained regulation mechanism might experience worse system-level memory bandwidth exploitation compared to a coarser-grained approach.

The Flower Calculus

Authors: Pablo Donato

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)


Abstract
We introduce the flower calculus, a deep inference proof system for intuitionistic first-order logic inspired by Peirce’s existential graphs. It works as a rewriting system over inductive objects called "flowers", that enjoy both a graphical interpretation as topological diagrams, and a textual presentation as nested sequents akin to coherent formulas. Importantly, the calculus dispenses completely with the traditional notion of symbolic connective, operating solely on nested flowers containing atomic predicates. We prove both the soundness of the full calculus and the completeness of an analytic fragment with respect to Kripke semantics. This provides to our knowledge the first analyticity result for a proof system based on existential graphs, adapting semantic cut-elimination techniques to a deep inference setting. Furthermore, the kernel of rules targetted by completeness is fully invertible, a desirable property for both automated and interactive proof search.

Reachability-Based Response-Time Analysis of Preemptive Tasks Under Global Scheduling

Authors: Pourya Gohari, Jeroen Voeten, and Mitra Nasri

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 298, 36th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2024)


Abstract
Global scheduling reduces the average response times as it can use the available computing cores more efficiently for scheduling ready tasks. However, this flexibility poses challenges in accurately quantifying interference scenarios, often resulting in either conservative response-time analyses or scalability issues. In this paper, we present a new response-time analysis for preemptive periodic tasks (or job sets) subject to release jitter under global job-level fixed-priority (JLFP) scheduling. Our analysis relies on the notion of schedule-abstraction graph (SAG), a reachability-based response-time analysis known for its potential accuracy and efficiency. Up to this point, SAG was limited to non-preemptive tasks due to the complexity of handling preemption when the number of preemptions and the moments they occur are not known beforehand. In this paper, we introduce the concept of time partitions and demonstrate how it facilitates the extension of SAG for preemptive tasks. Moreover, our paper provides the first response-time analysis for the global EDF(k) policy - a JLFP scheduling policy introduced in 2003 to address the Dhall’s effect. Our experiments show that our analysis is significantly more accurate compared to the state-of-the-art analyses. For example, we identify 12 times more schedulable task sets than existing tests for the global EDF policy (e.g., for systems with 6 to 16 tasks, 70% utilization, and 4 cores) with an average runtime of 30 minutes. We show that EDF(k) outperforms global RM and EDF by scheduling on average 24.9% more task sets (e.g., for systems with 2 to 10 cores and 70% utilization). Moreover, for the first time, we show that global JLFP scheduling policies (particularly, global EDF(k)) are able to schedule task sets that are not schedulable using well-known partitioning heuristics.

Tighter Worst-Case Response Time Bounds for Jitter-Based Self-Suspension Analysis

Authors: Mario Günzel, Georg von der Brüggen, and Jian-Jia Chen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 298, 36th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2024)


Abstract
Tasks are called self-suspending if they can yield their ready state (specifically, releasing the processor while having highest priority) despite being incomplete, for instance, to offload computation to an external device or when waiting on access rights for shared resources or data. This self-suspending behavior requires special treatment when applying analytical results to compute worst-case response time bounds. One typical treatment is modeling self-suspension as release jitter in a so-called jitter-based analysis. The state of the art, when considering task-level fixed-priority scheduling, individually quantifies the jitter term of each higher-priority task by its worst-case response time minus its worst-case execution time. This work tightens the jitter term by taking the execution behavior of the other higher-priority tasks into account. Our improved jitter-based analysis analytically dominates the previous jitter-based analysis. Moreover, an evaluation for synthetically generated sporadic tasks demonstrates that this jitter term results in tighter worst-case response time bounds for self-suspending tasks. We observe an improvement for up to 55.89 % of the tasksets compared to the previous jitter-based analysis.

Optimizing Per-Core Priorities to Minimize End-To-End Latencies

Authors: Francesco Paladino, Alessandro Biondi, Enrico Bini, and Paolo Pazzaglia

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 298, 36th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2024)


Abstract
Logical Execution Time (LET) allows decoupling the schedule of real-time periodic tasks from their communication, with the advantage of isolating the communication pattern from the variability of the schedule. However, when such tasks are organized in chains, the usage of LET at the task level does not necessarily transfer the same LET properties to the chain level. In this paper, we extend a LET-like model from tasks to chains spanning over multiple cores. We leverage the designed constant latency chains to optimize per-core priority assignment. Finally, we also provide a set of heuristic algorithms, that are compared in a large-scale experimental evaluation.

The Omnivisor: A Real-Time Static Partitioning Hypervisor Extension for Heterogeneous Core Virtualization over MPSoCs

Authors: Daniele Ottaviano, Francesco Ciraolo, Renato Mancuso, and Marcello Cinque

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 298, 36th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2024)


Abstract
Following the needs of industrial applications, virtualization has emerged as one of the most effective approaches for the consolidation of mixed-criticality systems while meeting tight constraints in terms of space, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C). In embedded platforms with homogeneous processors, a wealth of works have proposed designs and techniques to enforce spatio-temporal isolation by leveraging well-understood virtualization support. Unfortunately, achieving the same goal on heterogeneous MultiProcessor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs) has been largely overlooked. Modern hypervisors are designed to operate exclusively on main cores, with little or no consideration given to other co-processors within the system, such as small microcontroller-level CPUs or soft-cores deployed on programmable logic (FPGA). Typically, hypervisors consider co-processors as I/O devices allocated to virtual machines that run on primary cores, yielding full control and responsibility over them. Nevertheless, inadequate management of these resources can lead to spatio-temporal isolation issues within the system. In this paper, we propose the Omnivisor model as a paradigm for the holistic management of heterogeneous platforms. The model generalizes the features of real-time static partitioning hypervisors to enable the execution of virtual machines on processors with different Instruction Set Architectures (ISAs) within the same MPSoC. Moreover, the Omnivisor ensures temporal and spatial isolation between virtual machines by integrating and leveraging a variety of hardware and software protection mechanisms. The presented approach not only expands the scope of virtualization in MPSoCs but also enhances the overall system reliability and real-time performance for mixed-criticality applications. A full open-source reference implementation of the Omnivisor based on the Jailhouse hypervisor is provided, targeting ARM real-time processing units and RISC-V soft-cores on FPGA. Experimental results on real hardware show the benefits of the solution, including enabling the seamless launch of virtual machines on different ISAs and extending spatial/temporal isolation to heterogenous cores with enhanced regulation policies.

From Farkas' Lemma to Linear Programming: an Exercise in Diagrammatic Algebra ((Co)algebraic pearls)

Authors: Filippo Bonchi, Alessandro Di Giorgio, and Fabio Zanasi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 211, 9th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2021)


Abstract
Farkas' lemma is a celebrated result on the solutions of systems of linear inequalities, which finds application pervasively in mathematics and computer science. In this work we show how to formulate and prove Farkas' lemma in diagrammatic polyhedral algebra, a sound and complete graphical calculus for polyhedra. Furthermore, we show how linear programs can be modeled within the calculus and how some famous duality results can be proved.
