近年来,综合模块化航空电子(Integrated Modular Avionics,IMA)构架逐渐流行,并通过引入资源分区的概念取代了传统的联合式系统构架。研究了IMA构架下分层调度的设计问题。调度模型通过强时间分区,使多个强实时应用方便地集成在一个单处理器平台。推导出分区周期、分区系数以及可调度性在实时条件下的数学关系,并提出了分区参数的优化算法。考虑具有任意时限的实时任务模型,提高了算法的通用性。在分层调度的基础上,通过有效利用松弛时间,提出一种能量优化方法,进一步减少了飞行器上嵌入式系统的能耗。实验结果表明,本文提出的系统设计方法在保证硬实时需求的基础上,有效的降低能耗达 14%。

Design of Energy-efficient Hierarchical Scheduling for Integrated Modular Avionics Systems

Recently the integrated modular avionics (IMA) architecture which introduces the concept of resource partitions becomes popular as an alternative to the traditional federated architecture. This study investigates the problem of designing hierarchical scheduling for IMA systems. The proposed scheduler model enables strong temporal partitioning, so that multiple hard real-time applications can be easily integrated into an uniprocessor platform. This paper derives the mathematic relationships among partition cycle, partition capacity and schedulability under the real-time condition, and then proposes an algorithm for optimizing partition parameters. Real-time tasks with arbitrary deadlines are considered for generality. To further improve the basic algorithm and reduce the energy consumption for embedded systems in aircraft, a power optimization approach is also proposed by exploiting the slack time. Experimental results show that the designed system can guarantee the hard real-time requirement and reduce the power consumption by at least 14%.
