Abstract
Achieving reliable, repeatable, robust, and real-time (R4) behavior on single processor machines is challenging enough. Multicore machines complicate the picture with complex and nondeterministic concurrency models (threads, transactions, etc.) and with concurrent interactions that are difficult to analyze and understand (interlocks, mutual exclusion, etc.). Nonetheless, multicore technology offers opportunities for R4 by permitting dedicated allocation of hardware resources to real-time tasks, which may have more impact on R4 than generic (average case) performance improvements. This talk will examine the software challenges that must be overcome to fully exploit this potential. It will describe a major research agenda and some specific research results towards achieving R4 on multicore machines.
