Title:

Reliable and Predictable MPSoCs for Critical Embedded Systems

Abstract:

The increasing requirements for performance and functionalities push toward the use of multi-processor SoC in critical real-time embedded systems. Such systems have however to fulfill the high dependability requirements being set in mission-critical and safety-critical domains. But ensuring guarantees on the tasks execution times of applications is more and more challenging with the introduction of more and more complex architectures. And with the down-scaling of CMOS device dimensions, computing systems will be more and more exposed to effects of process variation and wear-out that could severely compromise the reliability of integrated circuits. This talk will present the industry perspectives and the challenges of critical embedded systems, and explore solutions for the design of reliable and predictable computing platforms.
