Abstract

This paper describes the design topics and projects done in a course titled “ Real time Systems”. The advancements in technology is taken into account in this course. This course emphasizes hard and soft real time computer system design for a single processor embedded system applications and distributed real time systems. Topics covered include characterizing real-time systems, performance measure, task assigning, scheduling, Fault tolerant scheduling, run-time error handling, run-time support, compiler, linker, debugger, kernel, real time databases, real-time communication, software development techniques; practical applications.

Introduction

Real time embedded microcomputer systems are found in almost every thing from kitchen appliances to automobiles and aircrafts. Systematic study of real time characteristics, methods to test the design by simulation and in the actual situation for meeting the real time constraints, introducing graceful degradation in performance where applicable are becoming important. The field of real time computing covers the areas in computer architecture, embedded microprocessor system design, system simulation, fault tolerant computing and real time operating system ( task scheduling etc). A real time engineer has to design the RT system to meet the execution time restriction under varying conditions. A list of books and web references used in this course are given in the reference. The course topics are listed below and the time spent on these topics.

1) Introduction and Basic concepts (1 hr) 2) Characterization of Real time systems and Tasks (2hr) 3) Task Assignments and Scheduling (3 hr) 4) Programming Languages and tools
