Event Oriented Design and Adaptive Multiprocessing
Abstract
The work performed under this contract relates to the performance design of real time (RT) systems. Performance requirements specify time and reliability factors such as response time, throughput, precision, and fail safe/ recovery characteristics. The most fundamental performance requirement of an RT system is response time, which is defined as the time elapsed between the appearance of a particular system input and the appearance of a specified output. In RT systems response time can be as critical as algorithmic or functional correctness. The research performed under this contract had two major objectives. One was to analyze the current state of research in RT design, particularly for mixed asynchronous/synchronous systems, and to map into a classification. The classification could then serve two purposes. One, to determine whether there exists a unifying concept in RT design; the other, to determine whether there are serious gaps in our knowledge about these systems. the second objective of the contract was to develop a design technique to handle a part of the problem indicated as lacking by the classification.
