Recently, the demand for real-time performance in mobile environment is increasing due to the improvement of hardware performance, however a GPOS(General-Purpose Operating System) such as Android and Linux do not provide real-time performance. We developed RTiK(Real-Time implant Kernel) for this problem, but it has the disadvantage of supporting only x86 Architecture. In this paper, we designed and implemented a RTiKA(Real-Time implanted Kernel for ARM) to support real-time in ARM Linux. We used MCT(Multi-Core Timer) timer which replaces Local APIC Timer for real-time support, and we measured the period of generated real-time task for performance verification and evaluation. As the recent the RTiKA can guarantee the operating of several real-time tasks based on the cycle of 1ms.

As the system development environment moves from single core to multi core-based platforms, it becomes more important to maintain compatibility between single core-based implementations and multi core-based implementations. Moreover, it is very important to support real-time on multi core platforms especially in cases of embedded software or test equipments which need real-time as well as correctness. Since Windows operating system dopes not support real-time in itself, it has been supporting real-time using expensive third-party solutions such as RTX or INtime. So as to reduce this kind of development expenses, in this paper, we propose RTiK-MP(Real-Time implant Kernel-Multi Processor) which supports real-time on Windows using the Local APIC of x86 architectures, and evaluate the performance of the proposed RTiK-MP after deploying it on portable missile test equipments.

윈도우즈 시스템 상에서 실행되는 CAN 통신 소프트웨어는 CAN 통신 데이터의 정확한 측정 및 성능 검증을 위해 실시간성을 요구한다. 본 연구에서는 윈도우즈 시스템에 실시간성을 제공하는 RTiK-MP(Real-Time implant Kernel-Multi Processor)을 이용하여, CAN 통신 디바이스 드라이버의 실시간성 지원을 위한 미들웨어를 구현하였다. 미들웨어 사용의 확장성, 편의성을 위해 API(Application Program Interface) 형태로 제공하고, 이를 활용한 프로그램을 통해 미들웨어를 검증한 결과 10ms 주기에서 오차범위 내에서 정상 동작함을 확인하였다.

범용 운영체제 윈도우즈는 라운드로빈(round-robin)스케줄링 방식을 사용하고 있다. 라운드로빈 스케줄링 방식은 높은 우선순위 태스크에 대한 빠른 응답성을 보장할 수 없어 실시간성을 제공하지 못한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 윈도우즈에서 실시간성을 제공하기 위한 RTiK-MP(Real Time implant Kernel-Multi Processor)가 개발되었다. 기존 RTiK-MP는 멀티프로세서 윈도우즈 환경에서 정상동작하게 되어있으나 서비스팩(Service Pack)환경에서는 Local APIC 타이머 레지스터의 값이 초기화되면서 윈도우즈에 실시간성을 제공하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 윈도우즈 서비스팩에서 발생하는 RTiK-MP의 문제점에 대해 설명하고 이에 대한 해결방안을 기술하여 윈도우즈 서비스팩에서 실시간성을 제공하기 위한 방안을 연구하였다.

For the case of test equipments requiring data accuracy, real-time is highly required in acceptance test for performance evaluation of developed weapons. For convenience' sake, test equipments are usually developed using Windows. However Windows does not support real-time in itself. Thus, in this paper, so as to reduce development time and expenses, we design and implement an integrated middleware for real-time device drivers using RTiK-MP. Using DLL, we also support user API's for the sake of development convenience without details of the complex RTiK-MP structure. We evaluate the performance of the proposed integrated middleware using the RDTSC command which returns the number of CPU clock ticks. The evaluation results show that it operates correctly within error ranges in the periods of 1ms and 4ms for the cases of TCP/IP and RS-232, respectively.
