Details a real-world product that applies a cutting-edge multi-core architecture Increasingly demanding modern applications—such as those used in telecommunications networking and real-time processing of audio, video, and multimedia streams—require multiple processors to achieve computational performance at the rate of a few giga-operations per second. This necessity for speed and manageable power consumption makes it likely that the next generation of embedded processing systems will include hundreds of cores, while being increasingly programmable, blending processors and configurable hardware in a power-efficient manner. Multi-Core Embedded Systems presents a variety of perspectives that elucidate the technical challenges associated with such increased integration of homogeneous (processors) and heterogeneous multiple cores. It offers an analysis that industry engineers and professionals will need to understand the physical details of both software and hardware in embedded architectures, as well as their limitations and potential for future growth. Discusses the available programming models spread across different abstraction levels The book begins with an overview of the evolution of multiprocessor architectures for embedded applications and discusses techniques for autonomous power management of system-level parameters. It addresses the use of existing open-source (and free) tools originating from several application domains—such as traffic modeling, graph theory, parallel computing and network simulation. In addition, the authors cover other important topics associated with multi-core embedded systems, such as: Architectures and interconnects Embedded design methodologies Mapping of applications

Simulation of computer architectures has made rapid progress recently. The primary application areas are hardware/software performance estimation and optimization as well as functional and timing verification. Recent, innovative technologies such as retargetable simulator generation, dynamic binary translation, or sampling simulation have enabled widespread use of processor and system-on-chip (SoC) simulation tools in the semiconductor and embedded system industries. Simultaneously, processor and SoC simulation is still a very active research area, e.g. what amounts to higher simulation speed, flexibility, and accuracy/speed trade-offs. This book presents and discusses the principle technologies and state-of-the-art in high-level hardware architecture simulation, both at the processor and the system-on-chip level.

Over the past two decades, there has been a huge amount of innovation in both the principles and practice of operating systems Over the same period, the core ideas in a modern operating system - protection, concurrency, virtualization, resource allocation, and reliable storage - have become widely applied throughout computer science. Whether you get a job at Facebook, Google, Microsoft, or any other leading-edge technology company, it is impossible to build resilient, secure, and flexible computer systems without the ability to apply operating systems concepts in a variety of settings. This book examines the both the principles and practice of modern operating systems, taking important, high-level concepts all the way down to the level of working code. Because operating systems concepts are among the most difficult in computer science, this top to bottom approach is the only way to really understand and master this important material.

Model-driven approaches are experiencing an increasing acceptance in the automotive domain thanks to the availability of the AUTOSAR standard, which defines an open software architecture for the model-based development of real-time systems and a corresponding development methodology. However, the process of creating models of existing system components is often difficult and time consuming, especially when legacy code is involved or information about the exact timing is needed. The research community tackles this problem by developing algorithms for automatically deriving characteristics of the system's timing behaviour, e.g., response times and resource blockings from various artefacts such as source code or runtime measurements. This work focuses on reversely engineering an AUTOSAR-compliant model, which can be used for further processing including timing simulation and optimisation, via a dynamic analysis from trace recordings of a real-time system. Although software reverse engineering via dynamic analysis has a long history, little research targets embedded systems and its use for multi-core architectures is largely unresearched. Furthermore, related work mainly discusses the analysis of individual characteristics of a real-time system, such as execution times or stimulation patterns instead of creating a description of the entire system. Huselius, whose work is among the publications most related to the topic of this thesis, proposes a technique to reverse engineer a model that reflects the general temporal behaviour of the original real-time software. However, like other existing solutions, it was not developed with AUTOSAR in mind. It is also not feasible to make this approach applicable to the automotive domain, because Huselius has not considered some required details, such as activation patterns, scheduling information, and compliance to the standardised development methodology of AUTOSAR. We want to tackle this deficiency by introducing, in this work, an approach that seizes on Huselius's considerations and extends them in order to make them applicable to the automotive domain. To do so, we present CoreTAna, a prototypical tool that derives an AUTOSAR compliant model of a real-time system by conducting dynamic analysis using trace recordings. Its reverse engineering approach is designed in such a way that it fits seamlessly into the methodology specified by AUTOSAR. CoreTAna's current features are explained and their benefits for reverse engineering are highlighted, and a framework for evaluating the quality of synthesised models is described. Motivated by the challenge of assessing the quality of reverse engineered models of real-time software, we also introduce a mathematical measure for comparing trace recordings from embedded real-time systems regarding their temporal behaviour and a benchmark framework based on this measure, for evaluating reverse engineering tools such as CoreTAna. This framework considers common system architectures and also includes randomly generated systems and systems of projects in the automotive domain and other industries. Finally, CoreTAna's performance and applicability are evaluated on the basis of this benchmark.

Embedded systems encompass a variety of hardware and software components which perform specific functions in host systems, for example, satellites, washing machines, hand-held telephones and automobiles. Embedded systems have become increasingly digital with a non-digital periphery (analog power) and therefore, both hardware and software codesign are relevant. The vast majority of computers manufactured are used in such systems. They are called `embedded' to distinguish them from standard mainframes, workstations, and PCs. Athough the design of embedded systems has been used in industrial practice for decades, the systematic design of such systems has only recently gained increased attention. Advances in microelectronics have made possible applications that would have been impossible without an embedded system design. Embedded System Applications describes the latest techniques for embedded system design in a variety of applications. This also includes some of the latest software tools for embedded system design. Applications of embedded system design in avionics, satellites, radio astronomy, space and control systems are illustrated in separate chapters. Finally, the book contains chapters related to industrial best-practice in embedded system design. Embedded System Applications will be of interest to researchers and designers working in the design of embedded systems for industrial applications.
