András Vajda, Ericsson

This talk focuses on architectural, OS, middleware and programming model challenges for real-time applications on massive multi-core processors. We'll evaluate the benefits of heterogeneous vs homogeneous architectures, needs for novel OS concepts as well as needs for new approaches that can guarantee real-time performance. Some of the novel approaches covered include:

• fundamental principles to follow when designing real-time applications on massive multi-core processors
• space-shared, frequency scaling-based operating systems
• data vs computation transfer systems
• lock and transaction-free approaches to shared memory that can converge to a state that can guarantee real-time performance
