Fault Tolerant Real-time Systems

Abstract

The ART (Advanced Real-Time Technology) Project of Carnegie Mellon University is engaged in wide ranging research on hard real-time systems. The project has as its overall goal the development and demonstration of predictable and fault tolerant hard real-time computer systems. To achieve this goal, research is being conducted in three interrelated areas: (1) The development of a theory of hard real-time resource management including scheduling and synchronization. In addition, this theory is being applied in a wide range of contexts including databases, communication networks and operating systems; (2) The design and construction of an operating system (ARTS 2.0) that supports predictable and fault tolerant real-time computer systems and demonstration and testing in the ARTS testbed to provide proof of concept and to gain understanding into aspects of the theory needing further refinement. (3) Development of hardware architectures and approaches to fault tolerance that can support predictable hard real-time computer systems.
