A systems architecture is presented that will guarantee crucial timing requirements, is tolerant of a range of hardware errors, but is sufficiently flexible for sporadic activities to be guaranteed and nonreal-time tasks to be accommodated. The model presented uses static allocation of application tasks, preemptive priority based scheduling, and replication for task availability. The architecture proposed has been obtained by choosing (known) fault tolerant techniques that are amenable to timing analysis, extending schedulability models to incorporate these techniques, and using, to advantage, properties of the computational model usually applied in hard real-time applications.< >

A major limitation of the boundary element method (BEM) for the solution of electrical potential problems is the long computational time required. However, a large portion of the calculations involved can be viewed as being parallel in nature and can therefore be computed concurrently. This paper makes an effort to increase the efficiency of the BEM process using transputer-based multiprocessor computing techniques. The algorithms developed may equally well be applied to any multiprocessor system. The application selected to demonstrate the technique is the solution of an electrostatic problem governed by a two-dimensional Laplace equation. A parallel algorithm for problem setup and field extraction using BEM is designed and implemented on a transputer array. Special attention is directed to the utilization of the parallel processors to achieve maximum efficiency. The analysis in this work concentrates on the communication strategies for passing data between processors as well as a consideration of the workload attributed to each processor. The parallel algorithms were implemented using 3L Parallel Fortran;however, the choice of topology for the overall BEM implementation was limited by the fact that certain parts of the algorithm could only utilize a pipeline configuration of processors. Comprehensive results for the parallel BEM algorithm are given and they are encouraging, indicating that parallel processing has much to offer when applied to the boundary element method.

A distributed hard real time system can be composed from a number of communicating tasks. One of the difficulties with building such systems is the problem of where to place the tasks. In general there are P(T) ways of allocating T tasks to P processors, and the problem of finding an optimal feasible allocation (where all tasks meet physical and timing constraints) is known to be NP-Hard. This paper describes an approach to solving the task allocation problem using a technique known as simulated annealing. It also defines a distributed hard real-time architecture and presents new analysis which enables timing requirements to be guaranteed.

Implementation of a kernel-level consistency control mechanism called invocation-based consistency control (IBCC) is presented. IBCC supports general-purpose persistent object-based distributed computing. It provides mechanisms that support a range of powerful, well-defined consistency semantics. IBCC mechanisms can also be used to implement custom recovery and synchronization. An operating-system-level implementation of IBCC as part of the Clouds distributed operating system that uses memory faulting to initiate locking and intermediate version creation is also given. Performance aspects are discussed, as well as the overhead incurred by supporting IBCC in terms of additional data structures needed in the operating system, and the additional amount of required code.< >
