Programming systems that obey hard real-time constraints is difficult.
|
||||||
|
So is programming multiple CPUs that interact to solve a single
|
||||||
|
problem.

|
||||||
|
On rare occasions it is possible to mix two difficult problems to create
|
||||||
|
one easy problem and multi-CPU real-time is, on the face of it,
|
||||||
|
just such an occasion. Give each deadline its own CPU and it will
|
||||||
|
never be missed. This intuition is, unfortunately, incorrect, which does
|
||||||
|
not, however, prevent it being tried in many real-time systems.

For three decades, fourth year students have been exploring this problem
|
||||||
|
in CS452, using multiple tasks (virtual CPUs) running on a single CPU.
|
||||||
|
It is now time to consider whether modern developments in CPU
|
||||||
|
architecture make it possible to use multiple CPUs in CS452 given the
|
||||||
|
practical constraint of a twelve week semester.

This talk will describe the nature of computation typical of real-time
|
||||||
|
systems, architectural solutions currently employed in the course, and
|
||||||
|
possible architectures for multi-CPU systems.
