Efficient Computation of Deadline-Miss Probability and Potential Pitfalls

Fortunately, I will attend the DATE 2019 conference to present my work.
The title of my work is:
Efficient Computation of Deadline-Miss Probability and Potential Pitfalls
This work is regarding the approximation of Deadline-Miss probability for soft real-time systems.

The abstract is as the following:
In soft real-time systems, rare deadline misses are often tolerable by the applications. Towards this, probabilistic arguments and analyses are applicable to the timing analyses of this class of systems, as demonstrated in many existing researches. Convolution-based analyses allow to derive tight deadline-miss probabilities, but suffer from a high time complexity. Among the analytical approaches, which result in a significantly faster runtime than the convolution-based approaches, the Chernoff bounds provide the tightest results. In this paper, we show that calculating the deadline-miss probability using Chernoff bounds can be solved by considering an equivalent convex optimization problem. This allows us to, on the one hand, decrease the runtime of the Chernoff bounds while, on the other hand, ensure a tighter approximation since a larger variable space can be searched more efficiently, i.e., using binary search techniques over a larger area instead of a sequential search over a smaller area. We evaluate this approach considering synthesized task sets. Our approach is shown to be computationally efficient for large task systems, whilst experimentally suggesting reasonable approximation quality compared to an exact analysis.

I will also have a poster for PhD forum about my dissertation.

RSB+RTEMS 5/6 with QEMU-SMP (ARM realview_pbx_a9_qemu as example)

Since I got a request regarding this blog  written in 2016, summarizing again the complete flow with the latest version of RTEMS could be a good idea. Prepare a suitable workspace according to the adopted operating system on your host ( https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/hosts/index.html ):  sudo apt-get build-dep build-essential gcc-defaults g++ gdb git unzip pax bison flex texinfo unzip python3-dev libpython-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev Checkout RSB and build: git clone git://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder.git rsb change directory to rsb/rtems/ and type ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --prefix=<the path you like to store the built toolchains> <the name of bsp> For example, to use QEMU, I need toolchains for ARM, so: ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --prefix=/home/kh.chen/respository/build/. 6/rtems-arm This will take a while. Please ensure your connection is reliable. Add the built folder into your PATH. For example, you can add one line in ~/.bas...

[ubuntu] Removing the instance/package which is not fully installed from apt-get

When I'm installing g77-3.4 for pgplot, I trivially use dkpg to install it. However, g77-3.4-doc is not able to fully installed. And I stuck for this kind of error due to the broken packages (refer to here ): dpkg: error processing realplayer (--configure/--purge/--remove): (Whatever messages) Errors were encountered while processing: g77-3.4-doc cd /var/lib/dpkg/info sudo rm g77-3.4-doc* sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq g77-3.4-doc Hmm, now apt-get works well again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9HJ-iAzf3k

[RASP] VirtualBox Raspberry Pi debuging

This article is for the perspective that planning to debug Raspberry Pi connected to (Guest) Ubuntu Virtualbox with USBtoUART and Screen/terminal. There are two important issues that you may face: You cannot detect USB devices: You probably have a permission issue on your Virtual box. Add your user ID to group vboxusers with this command: sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER , log off, log on and try again. http://askubuntu.com/questions/481693/virtualbox-usb-add-device-filter-does-not-work-under-14-04 You cannot listen the ttyUSB0: Your permission of (guest) account should be feasible to the ttyUSB0: sudo gedit /etc/group goto line... dialout:x:20: add your "username" dialout:x:20:username http://askubuntu.com/questions/40959/how-do-i-connect-to-tty-com-dev-ttyusb0 After that, then you can detect the plug-in usb on-the-fly or before open the virtual machine.
