A new paradigm to achieve Verifiability and Compositionality: The FLET (Fixed Logical Execution Time) Assumption Software Task write actuator output at time t+d, for fixed d read sensor input at time t
A new paradigm to achieve Verifiability and Compositionality: The FLET (Fixed Logical Execution Time) Assumption Software Task d>0 is the task's "logical execution time" write actuator output at time t+d, for fixed d read sensor input at time t
High-Confidence, Compositional Embedded Programming The control engineer specifies sampling rate d and permissible jitter j to solve the control problem at hand. The compiler ensures that d and j are met on a given platform (hardware resources and performance). If the compiler succeeds, then the code is time safe; otherwise the program is rejected. No "priority tweaking"!
A new paradigm to achieve Verifiability and Compositionality: The FLET (Fixed Logical Execution Time) Assumption time t time t+d possible physical execution on CPU buffer output
Contrast the FLET to Standard Practice output as soon as ready
Advantages of the FLET -predictable timing and data behavior (no race conditions, minimal jitter) -portable, composable code (as long as the platform offers sufficient performance)
Implementationsof the FLET The E(mbedded) Machine: a virtual machine that executes tasks in real time under the FLET assumption. E (machine) code can be checked for time safetry.
