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...

[Gem5] Full system Simulation with Official Kernel

I follow the youtube provided by Gem5 to get the inspiration. (http://gem5.org/Running_gem5#Full_System_.28FS.29_Mode) I download the file here: http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/arm/ with http://www.gem5.org/dist/current/arm/aarch-system-20170616.tar.xz Then Set up M5_PATH as the place I extract the files: "/home/khchen/full_system_images/" If the setting is correct, assigning the disk-image will finish the rest of setting for dtb and kernel specifications. So far I can only use this img (aarch32-ubuntu-natty-headless.img) as my disk-image to run up to the login interface of the ubuntu: build/ARM/gem5.opt configs/example/fs.py --disk-image=/home/khchen/full_system_images/disks/aarch32-ubuntu-natty-headless.img With the other imgs, for example like "aarch64-ubuntu-trusty-headless.img", I think the kernel and the dtb should be given manually, because it will automatically load something with aarch32 prefix which doesn't make sense: info: kernel ...

[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
