Optimizing Application Distribution on Multi-Core Systems within AUTOSAR

International audienceMulti-core platforms have gained in popularity in nowadays automotive domain. But, even if multi-core ar-chitectures are now supported by the AUTOSAR framework, this migration remains a great challenge. First of all, software designers need new methods to fill the gap between application description and tasks deployment. The use of multiple cores has also to remain compatible with real-time and safety design constraints. Finally, developers need tools to assist them in the new steps of the design process. We propose in this paper a partitioning method integrated in the AUTOSAR design flow acting as a decision guide for the distribution of complex and real world control applications onto automotive multi-core systems
