Study Notes
Real Time Properties
- Latency refers to the time difference between an event and the reaction to it.
- Jitter is the difference between the maximum and minimum latency.
- High importance of latency in feedback control systems.
- Execution time is the time difference between the start and end of a task.
- Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) is the maximum possible execution time, considering all possible causes of delay, such as interrupts and caching, and is dependent on the platform.
Soft, Firm, and Hard Deadlines
- Soft deadline: delivering a result after the deadline reduces the benefit, but does not make it useless.
- Example: a car's radio volume increasing as the car speeds up.
- Firm deadline: delivering a result after the deadline makes it useless, with no benefit.
- Example: a SatNav system powering up after receiving an incoming traffic bulletin.
- Hard deadline: delivering a result after the deadline causes damage or harm, with a negative benefit.
- Example: a car's brake pedal being pushed, and the car decelerating.
Real Time Systems
- Real time systems maintain an internal image of the system state in memory.
- The system state is described by a set of variables.
- The internal image needs continuous updates to reflect the current system state.
Real Time Architecture
- Event-triggered system: the internal image is updated with every change of state.
- Time-triggered system: the internal image is updated in fixed intervals.
- Time-triggered systems use an internal or global clock, which requires synchronization.
