Paper on WCET and industrial control code at SIES’11

York, UK, 15th June 2011 A paper co-authored by Guillem Bernat and Michael Houston of Rapita Systems will be presented today at SIES’11. Its focus on the parallelisation and worst-case analysis of the control code of a large industrial drilling machine could be considered a breakthrough in the WCET field, especially as parallel execution on multi-core processors is increasingly regarded as an effective way to cope with the performance requirements of current and future hard real-time embedded systems. The findings demonstrate how multi-core processors can support a parallelised, industrial real-time application and enable effective analysis of worst-case execution time on a multi-core processor.
