Critical-Section Granularity for Multi-Resource Systems with Nested Critical Sections

Job-Level Dynamic Cache Allocation for Real-Time Systems under Shared LLC Interference

This paper introduces a job-level dynamic cache allocation strategy for multicore systems in which critical real-time tasks execute on a dedicated core while sharing the LLC with best-effort workloads executing on the remaining cores.

Multi-Core Interference Analysis Using Worst-Case Memory Access Functions

This paper introduces the first interference analysis algorithm for computing contention bounds using statically extracted WCMA functions in offline time-triggered scheduling and proposes two heuristics that adjust task start times in an existing schedule to maximize the benefits of WCMA functions.

Retention-Based Energy-Efficient and High-Core-Utilization Scheduling for Arbitrary-Deadline DAGs

A retention-oriented scheduling framework for always-on arbitrary-deadline Directed Acyclic Graph workloads, consisting of two algorithms with a clear progression, and shows that, compared with a representative work-conserving baseline with automatic retention/PG, PREHS reduces static energy consumption.

Execution-Driven Auto-Tuning of Static Schedules for Resource-Efficient HPC

Task-based HPC runtimes are typically tuned under a performance-first requirement with the assumption that the fastest configuration requires all available cores. This paper asks whether that assumption holds, and whether high performance can be achieved with fewer resources. We study this question using SWITCHES, a ta...

Safety-Critical Deadline Compliant Static Task Scheduling for Heterogeneous Architectures

Currently, the prevalence of heterogeneous multicore architectures even in real-time safety-critical embedded systems is rising, as an increasing number of applicationspecific accelerators are introduced into the core architecture to tackle more and more complex problems. This does create a challenge for the modern dev...
