Interprocess communication for real-time embedded systems
FY 2009-10
Summary
In large-scale distributed real-time embedded systems, there are periodic and aperiodic processes driven by messages that affect the system's performance. Due to limitations of the resources in embedded systems, message-based designs impose significant overheads and degrade system performance, because of high execution time and memory requirements.
The mechanisms for defining and addressing these issues in order to achieve quality of service are still maturing. Current architectures are not perfect and are still in their infancy in addressing these issues in large distributed systems. This research program will provide a benchmark for the current demands of industry and the research community. In the proposed approach, overheads are removed and communication delays are minimized, resulting in significant improvement in performance of real-time embedded and distributed systems.
