Hypervisor-based software architectures for efficient mixed-criticality systems

Increasingly powerful processing platforms are leading to more centralized controller architectures in networked embedded systems as found in cars, aircraft or industrial production systems. Software-driven functions formerly realized on distributed processing units are integrated on few powerful machines. Hypervisors support this integration by managing the machine’s resources and isolating applications. However, In the context of safety and real-time systems, an efficient integration of mixed-critical software is difficult. Therefore, we research architectures and mechanisms to increase the efficiency of such platforms while still maintaining safety and timing guarantees.

Data processing in future industrial production systems

Future industrial production systems lead to new challenges concerning data processing and machine control. Focusing on flexibility and efficiency, KIT investigates a production system concept based on collaborating robots executing different manufacturing steps. During production robots exchange tools and switch between standalone and collaborative mode. An efficient control and data processing system is needed to orchestrate control and data processing software execution within a network of processing units, providing processing power as needed by the production system and ensuring real-time processing where necessary.
