With the widespread adoption of multicore architectures, multiprocessors are now a
standard deployment platform for (soft) real-time applications. This dissertation addresses …

When locking protocols are used in real-time systems, bounds on blocking times are
required when ensuring timing constraints. While the term “blocking” is well-understood in …

Multicore platforms are predicted to become significantly larger in the coming years. Given
that real-time workloads will inevitably be deployed on such platforms, the scalability of the …

Ongoing research is discussed on the development of operating-system support for
enabling mixed-criticality workloads to be supported on multicore platforms. This work is …

We systematically survey the literature on analytically sound multiprocessor real-time
locking protocols from 1988 until the end of 2017, covering the following topics: Progress …

Several suspension-based multiprocessor real-time locking protocols for partitioned fixed-
priority (P-FP) scheduling have been proposed in prior work. These protocols differ in key …

This paper presents the first suspension-based multiprocessor real-time locking protocols
with asymptotically optimal blocking bounds (under certain analysis assumptions). These …

Background: Nowadays, there is an immense increase in the demand for high power
computation of real-time workloads and the trend towards multi-core and multiprocessor …

In this paper we propose a synchronization protocol for resource sharing among
independently-developed real-time systems on multi-core platforms. The systems may use …

This paper presents the first suspension-based real-time locking protocols for clustered
schedulers. Such schedulers pose challenges from a locking perspective because they …
