High-performance parallelisation of real-time applications

Paper presented at the Embedded World Conference 2017. 14 to 16, Mar, 2017, Session 19: HiPEAC – High Performance Embedded Architectures. Nuremberg, Germany.This paper presents an overview of the P-SOCRATES methodology and tools, instantiated in the UpScale SDK (Software Development Kit) for the development of time-predictable high-performance applications. The proposed methodology was designed to provide an integrated SDK to fully exploit the huge performance opportunities brought by the most advanced many-core processors, whilst ensuring a predictable performance and maintaining (or even reducing) development costs of applications. The paper also provides the performance results of the application of the SDK in relevant embedded usecases.
