Many-core platforms are rapidly expanding in various embedded areas as they provide the
scalable computational power required to meet the ever-growing performance demands of …

One of the biggest challenges in cyber-physical system (CPS) design is their intrinsic
complexity, heterogeneity, and multidisciplinary nature. Emerging distributed CPSs integrate …

Systems on chip (SOC) contain multiple concurrent applications with different time criticality
(firm, soft, non real-time). As a result, they are often developed by different teams or …

Future many-core systems are envisaged to support the concurrent execution of varying
mixes of different applications. Because of the vast number of binding options for such mixes …

Multiprocessing architectures provide hardware for executing multiple tasks simultaneously
via techniques such as simultaneous multithreading and symmetric multiprocessing. The …

Designing multi-processor systems-on-chips becomes increasingly complex, as more
applications with realtime requirements execute in parallel. System resources, such as …

In this chapter we define what a mixed-time-criticality system is and what its requirements
are. After defining the concepts that such systems should follow, we described CompSOC …

The authors of this book first met in the context of a master project in Philips Research in
Eindhoven, the Netherlands, back in the summer of 2004. One was a student in Computer …

Real-time applications are increasingly targeting many-core platforms, demanding
predictability in a highly dynamic environment. To enable this shift, for each application, a …

Embedded systems are increasingly based on multi-core platforms to accommodate a
growing number of applications, some of which have real-time requirements. Resources …
