Hypervisor-Based Software Architectures for Efficient Mixed-Criticality Systems
Increasingly powerful processing platforms are leading to centralized control architectures in networked embedded systems, such as those found in cars, airplanes, or industrial production systems. Software-controlled functions that were previously implemented on distributed processing units are now being integrated onto a small number of high-performance machines. Hypervisors support this integration by administering the machine’s resources and isolating applications. In the context of safety-critical and real-time systems, however, the efficient integration of mixed-criticality software is challenging. Therefore, we are researching architectures and mechanisms to increase the efficiency of such platforms while maintaining safety and timing guarantees.
Data Processing in Future Industrial Production Systems
Future industrial production systems present new challenges in data processing and machine control. With a focus on flexibility and efficiency, KIT is investigating a production system concept based on collaborative robots that perform various manufacturing steps. During production, the robots swap out their tools and switch between standalone and collaboration modes. An efficient control and data processing system is required to coordinate the execution of the control and data processing software across a network of processing units, to provide processing power according to the production system’s needs, and to ensure real-time processing when necessary.
