Design for Time-Predictability
نویسندگان
چکیده
A large part of safety-critical embedded systems has to satisfy hard real-time constraints. These need sound methods and tools to derive reliable run-time guarantees. The guaranteed run times should not only be reliable, but also precise. The achievable precision highly depends on characteristics of the target architecture and the implementation methods and system layers of the software. Trends in hardware and software design run contrary to predictability. This article describes threats to time-predictability of systems and proposes design principles that support time predictability. The ultimate goal is to design performant systems with sharp upper and lower bounds on execution times.

Dynamic characterization and predictability analysis of wind speed and wind power time series in Spain wind farm
The renewable energy resources such as wind power have recently attracted more researchers’ attention. It is mainly due to the aggressive energy consumption, high pollution and cost of fossil fuels. In this era, the future fluctuations of these time series should be predicted to increase the reliability of the power network. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics and short-term predictabili...
متن کاملExploiting Standard Deviation of CPI to Evaluate Architectural Time-Predictability
Time-predictability of computing is critical for hard real-time and safety-critical systems. However, currently there is no metric available to quantitatively evaluate time-predictability, a feature crucial to the design of time-predictable processors. This paper first proposes the concept of architectural time-predictability, which separates the time variation due to hardware architectural/mic...

This paper employs a general non-linear analysis tool to analyse the nature of time series associated with the price (returns) of a particular company in Tehran Stock Exchange. It is shown that the behavior of the process associated with the price (returns) time-series of this company is weakly chaotic, and due to the non-random behavior of the process, short term prediction of stock price is p...

Predictability of the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) variability as simulated in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory's coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model is established for a set of ensemble experiments. There is a large separation of time scales between the slower oceanic processes, whose predictability is of interest here, and the much more rapid atmospher...
