In order to obtain large and complex VLSI systems using advanced semiconductor process technologies, problems of how to increase utilization of collected many cores and how to tolerate delay variation due to process variation, delay faults caused during operation, changes of environmental parameters, and so on should be solved.This project is developing several core technologies to overcome those problems and proposes a design methodology to construct highly dependable, adaptable, and efficient network-on-chip (NoC) platform. In order to demonstrate the proposed methodology, a prototype NoC platform is being developed, and almost actual automotive applications are planned to be run on it. Duplicated task execution with dynamic pair reconfiguration: For achieving sufficient dependability for automotive applications, two copies of each task are executed in different CPU cores (called a pair), and the results are compared to detect transient/permanent faults. When a mismatch happens, the same task is temporally executed in three CPU cores to find a faulty CPU core. Then, a new pair is reconfigured excluding the faulty CPU core. Redundant task allocation and redundant scheduling: Closeup by click
In order to implement the above duplicated task execution with dynamic pair reconfiguration, it is needed
to allocate tasks to CPU cores redundantly, and the scheduling for duplicated execution should be performed. We are now developing a tool that accepts a non-redundant Simulink model and produces the task allocation/scheduling results for a given redundancy of allocation and scheduling.
