چکیده
∗ This work is supported with funds of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft within the priority program "Rapid Prototyping for Integrated Control Systems with Hard RealTime Constraints" Abstract: This paper describes a rapid prototyping system for the design and development of hard real time systems. The main focus of this rapid prototyping system is on scheduling algorithms. Issues of their implementation including hardware solutions will be considered. The contributions of this work include: 1. General scheduling analysis using an extendable scheduling analyzer 2. Description of a reconfigurable scheduling coprocessor 3. First performance evaluation and comparison of two prototype variants. One scheduling algorithm implemented in hardware represents a solution for the threshing problem of least laxity scheduling.

This paper presents a new approach to the design of embedded systems. Due to restrictions that state-of-theart methodologies contain for hardware/software partitioning, we have developed an emulation based method using the facilities of reconfigurable hardware components, like Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). Our own emulation environment called the SPYDER tool set was used; it is best su...

When developing new control, protection, and stability methods for power systems, it is important to study the complex interactions of the system dynamics with the real-time operation of the new methods. Historically hardware prototypes were developed to study these interactions. With the recent introduction of the much cheaper rapid hardware and software prototyping tools, developers are choos...
متن کاملRun-Time Monitoring of Communication Activities in a Rapid Prototyping Environment
Architectural decisions in embedded systems design are often based on assumptions about properties of the communication channels. For validating them rapid prototyping combined with run-time monitoring plays a major role. In this paper we present HarMonIC 1 – a reconfigurable hardware monitoring system for the run-time observation of communication channels. We will show how HarMonIC can be used...
