To explain the concept of a real-time system and why these systems are usually implemented as concurrent processes
A real-time system is a software system where the correct functioning of the system depends on the results produced by the system and the time at which these results are produced.
A soft real-time system is a system whose operation is degraded if results are not produced according to the specified timing requirements.
A hard real-time system is a system whose operation is incorrect if results are not produced according to the timing specification.
Because of the need to respond to timing demands made by different stimuli/responses, the system architecture must allow for fast switching between stimulus handlers.
Timing demands of different stimuli are different so a simple sequential loop is not usually adequate.
Real-time systems are therefore usually designed as cooperating processes with a real-time executive controlling these processes.
Collect information from sensors. May buffer information collected in response to a sensor stimulus.
Hard-real time systems may have to programmed in assembly language to ensure that deadlines are met.
Languages such as C allow efficient programs to be written but do not have constructs to support concurrency or shared resource management.
Java supports lightweight concurrency (threads and synchronized methods) and can be used for some soft real-time systems.
Java 2.0 is not suitable for hard RT programming but real-time versions of Java are now available that address problems such as
Design both the hardware and the software associated with system. Partition functions to either hardware or software.
Aggregate the stimulus and response processing into concurrent processes. A process may be associated with each class of stimulus and response.
Design algorithms to process each class of stimulus and response. These must meet the given timing requirements.
Design a scheduling system which will ensure that processes are started in time to meet their deadlines.
May mean that certain design strategies such as object-oriented design cannot be used because of the additional overhead involved.
Real-time operating systems are specialised operating systems which manage the processes in the RTS.
Responsible for the dynamic reconfiguration of the system software and hardware. Hardware modules may be replaced and software upgraded without stopping the systems.
Responsible for detecting software and hardware faults and taking appropriate actions (e.g. switching to backup disks) to ensure that the system continues in operation.
Interrupt level priority. Highest priority which is allocated to processes requiring a very fast response.
Further interrupts are disabled, the interrupt serviced and control returned to the interrupted process.
In most real-time systems, there will be several classes of periodic process, each with different periods (the time between executions), execution times and deadlines (the time by which processing must be completed).
The real-time clock ticks periodically and each tick causes an interrupt which schedules the process manager for periodic processes.
The scheduler chooses the next process to be executed by the processor. This depends on a scheduling strategy which may take the process priority into account.
Once a process has been scheduled for execution, it runs to completion or until it is blocked for some reason (e.g. waiting for I/O).
The execution of an executing processes may be stopped if a higher priority process requires service.
A system is required to monitor sensors on doors and windows to detect the presence of intruders in a building.
When a sensor indicates a break-in, the system switches on lights around the area and calls police automatically.
Design a scheduling system which ensures that processes will always be scheduled to meet their deadlines.
Generated aperiodically by a circuit monitor. When received, the system must switch to backup power within 50 ms.
Stimulus generated by system sensors. Response is to call the police, switch on building lights and the audible alarm.
A burglar alarm system is primarily a monitoring system. It collects data from sensors but no real-time actuator control.
Control systems are similar but, in response to sensor values, the system sends control signals to actuators.
An example of a monitoring and control system is a system that monitors temperature and switches heaters on and off.
The ring buffer is itself implemented as a concurrent process so that the collection and processing processes may be synchronized.
Producer processes collect data and add it to the buffer. Consumer processes take data from the buffer and make elements available.
The buffer must stop producer processes adding information to a full buffer and consumer processes trying to take information from an empty buffer.
Real-time system correctness depends not just on what the system does but also on how fast it reacts.
