Abstract

In the field of real-time systems, component-based models for mixed criticality systems (MCS) on multicore platform are gaining significant attention of the researchers from the recent past. The concept of mixed-criticality is firstly applied on single core systems but after gaining attention, it evolved to multicore platform. Initially, the tasks of MCS executes in low mode however if a task having high criticality does not its scheduling requirements complete its low mode, then the system switch to high mode. In high mode, only high critical tasks executes its high mode scheduling requirements, while all low tasks are discarded from further execution. In the realm of MCS, the component-based model have high importance and has been used in large and complex real-time systems. In component-based model, the component of a system is splatted into multiple components. In this study, a new component-based scheduling approach is proposed for multicore MCS. In the multicore mixed-criticality compositional framework, special emphasis is given on deriving the supply bound function, which represents available core supply, and the demand bound function, which indicates the requirements of resources for scheduling. A mixed-criticality multicore compositional framework (MMCF) is introduced for component-based MCS having tightened deadline. For the proposed strategy, a schedulability analysis is conducted, ensuring that the system can be scheduled only if the supply bound function is equal to or less than the demand bound function. On a 4-core platform, the scheduleability for the three scheduling strategies i.e. MMCF, MC-Partition, and Global are shown at different utilization levels of resource. 100% schedulability is shown by the proposed MMCF, MC-Partition, and global techniques for target utilizations of 0.7, 0.5, and 0.4, respectively. For a given utilization U=0.6, the proposed MMCF approach shows 100 % schedulability, while the MC-partition and global approaches show 90% and 20% schedulabilities respectively. It shows that the proposed MMCF approach schedules 10% and 80% more task sets than the MC-partition and global approaches respectively. The experimental results reveal that the proposed MMCF approach offers better schedulability than the other two approaches.
