  1. Time-Critical Computing:Some Insights and Implications Professor Jan Jonsson Department of Computer Science and Engineering Chalmers University of Technology

  2. Future systems execute reliable, high-throughput applications with explicit real-time constraints. Future systems execute reliable, high-throughput applications with explicit real-time constraints. Scientific context The availability of computer systems with attractive price-performance ratios has enabled: • Low-cost nodes in distributed real-time systems • Powerful telecommunication/multimedia servers • Multi-core processor nodes in embedded systems

  3. Low-cost, multi-core nodes in distributed real-time systems Scientific context

  4. Challenges Two research directions in time-critical computing: • Optimal resource allocation • Goals: maximize system performance (e.g. timing guarantees, reliability, throughput); minimize resource usage (e.g. power consumption, size, weight) • Challenges: multi-objective optimization; time-complexity • Efficient on-line scheduling • Goal: improve performance on multiprocessor systems (e.g. scheduling techniques for uniprocessors are inefficient) • Challenge: circumvent fundamental theoretical limitations(e.g. hybrid scheduling techniques are needed)
