Abstract

This study proposes a multi-core-based controller design for an ESC(Electronic Stability Control) system in an automotive multi-core processor. Considering the architectures of an automotive multi-core processor and an ESC system, the overall execution time has been optimized for multi-core platforms. The function module assignment, synchronization between cores, and memory assignment for core-dependent variables in automotive multi-core systems are evaluated. The ESC controller comprising five function modules is used herein. Based on the proposed design, the single-core controller is extended to multi-core controllers. Using multi-core optimization methods, such as function module assignment, semaphore, interrupt awakening, and variable assignment over cores, the ESC system is redesigned to a multi-core controller. Experimental results reveal that the execution time for the multi-core processor is reduced by 59.7% compared with that for the single-core processor.

본 논문에서는 차량 멀티코어 프로세서를 통한 ESC(Electronic Stability Control) 시스템을 위한 멀티코어 기반 제어기를 제시한다. 차량용 멀티코어 프로세서와 ESC 시스템의 아키텍처를 고려할 때 ESC 소프트웨어의 전체 수행 시간은 멀티코어에 최적화되어 있다. 일반적으로 차량용 멀티코어 시스템에서는 코어 간 동기화, 멀티코어에 대한 테스크 할당, 코어 종속 변수에 대한 메모리 할당을 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에 사용된 ESC 시스템은 초기화, SlipRatio 계산, YawRate 계산, ABS, 통신으로 구성된다. 제안된 설계 방법을 기반으로 싱글코어 프로세서는 멀티코어 프로세서로 확장된다. ESC 시스템은 기능 모듈 할당, 세마포어, 인터럽트, 코어 별 변수 할당과 같은 멀티코어 최적화 방법을 사용하여 멀티코어 제어기로 재설계된다. 실험 결과로 멀티코어 프로세서의 수행 시간이 싱글코어 프로세서에 비해 59.7% 단축되었다.
