Book Description
Real-time embedded systems have been widely deployed in mission-critical applications, such as avionics mission computing, highway traffic control, remote patient monitoring, wireless communications, navigation, etc. These applications always require their real-time and embedded components to work in open and unpredictable environments, where workload is volatile and unknown. In order to guarantee the temporal correctness and avoid severe underutilization or overload, it is of vital significance to measure, control, and optimize the processor utilization adaptively. A key challenge in this mission is to meet real-time requirements even when the workload cannot be accurately characterized a priori. Traditional approaches of worst-case analysis may cause underutilization of resources, while Model Predictive Control (MPC) based approaches may suffer severe performance deterioration when large estimation errors exist. To address this challenging problem and provide better system performance, we have developed several important online adaptive optimal control approaches based on advanced control techniques. Our approaches adopt Recursive Least Square (RLS) based model identification and Linear Quadratic (LQ) optimal controllers to guarantee that the systems are neither overloaded, nor underloaded. These proposed approaches, as well as the associated tools, can quickly adapt to volatile workload changes to provide stable system performance. To minimize the impact of modeling errors, we adopt the Adaptive Critic Design (ACD) technique and develop an improved solution that requires little information of the system model. To deal with the discrete task rates, we further propose to utilize the frequency scaling technique to assist the utilization control and optimization.

Dependable Embedded Systems
Author: Jörg Henkel
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303052017X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 606
Book Description
This Open Access book introduces readers to many new techniques for enhancing and optimizing reliability in embedded systems, which have emerged particularly within the last five years. This book introduces the most prominent reliability concerns from today’s points of view and roughly recapitulates the progress in the community so far. Unlike other books that focus on a single abstraction level such circuit level or system level alone, the focus of this book is to deal with the different reliability challenges across different levels starting from the physical level all the way to the system level (cross-layer approaches). The book aims at demonstrating how new hardware/software co-design solution can be proposed to ef-fectively mitigate reliability degradation such as transistor aging, processor variation, temperature effects, soft errors, etc. Provides readers with latest insights into novel, cross-layer methods and models with respect to dependability of embedded systems; Describes cross-layer approaches that can leverage reliability through techniques that are pro-actively designed with respect to techniques at other layers; Explains run-time adaptation and concepts/means of self-organization, in order to achieve error resiliency in complex, future many core systems.
