Communication Patterns for Embedded Real-Time Many-Cores

We envision that multiand many-core processors will be applied in future embedded realtime systems in automotive, avionics and automation domains. Embedded multi-cores feature a shared memory, whereas many-cores tend towards distributed memory possibly with pure messagepassing. We further envision the parallelization of real-time applications. Thus, we plan to provide assistance for parallel programming by delivering a higher level of abstraction to the programmer. The abstraction is introduced by parallel communication patterns that are timing predictable, ease WCET analysis, simplify the programming of parallel code and are applicable for shared-memory multi-cores and message-passing many-cores. In this paper, we briefly describe the approach of our communication patterns and emerging research topics.
