Benchmarking, System Design and Case-studies for Multi-core based Embedded Automotive Systems
This work provides tools and benchmarks for researchers designing multi-core embedded automotive systems, but it is incremental as it builds on existing platforms like AMALTHEA.
The paper proposes using automotive use cases as benchmarks for real-time system design, describing them in the AMALTHEA platform format and developing a parser for researchers to use directly. It demonstrates an example of optimizing makespan while meeting timing constraints by allocating functionality to Network on Chip resources.
In this paper, using of automotive use cases as benchmarks for real-time system design has been proposed. The use cases are described in a format supported by AMALTHEA platform, which is a model based open source development environment for automotive multi-core systems. An example of a simple Electronic Control Unit has been analysed and presented with enough details to reconstruct this system in any format. For researchers willing to use AMALTHEA file format directly, an appropriate parser has been developed and offered. An example of applying this parser and benchmark for optimising makespan while not violating the timing constraints by allocating functionality to different Network on Chip resource is demonstrated.
