Towards Timing Analysis of Multi-core Platforms for Hard Real-Time Systems

CPS Student Forum Portugal was held as part of the Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPS Week 2018), 10-13 April, Porto-Portugal.We intend to provide solutions that can be used to quantify and analyze the non-determinism arising from the sharing of two main resources in MCPs, i.e., caches and interconnects. • Accurately quantify the cache related contention in single core platforms. • Bounding the interference due to cache hierarchy and last-level shared cache (LLC) in multicore platforms. • Model the inter-core interference due to the sharing of Bus/interconnects in a MCP. • Develop a new timing analysis taking into account the interference caused by both caches and interconnects and their impact on the timing properties of tasks running on MCPs
