Mixed-criticality systems consist of components with different criticality. Recently, components are categorized depending on criticality by ISO 26262 standard and DO-178B standard in automotive and avionic domain. Existing mixed-criticality system research achieved efficient and safe scheduling through system-level criticality mode. The drawback of these approaches is performance degradation of low-criticality tasks on high-criticality mode. Task-level criticality mode is one method to address the problem and improve the performance of low-critical tasks. In this paper, we propose probabilistic performance metric for the approach. In simulation results with probabilistic performance metric, we showed that our approach has better performance than the existing approaches.

In this paper, we applied the migration technique to real-time tasks that have relatively low criticality but still important to be dropped by the mixed-criticality scheduling algorithms. The proposed drop and migrate algorithm analyzes the schedulability by calculating CPU utilization and response time of using task migration. We provide analysis to guarantee the deadline of LO-tasks, by transforming the response time equation specified with migration time. The transformed response time equation was able to analyze the migration schedulability. This algorithm can be used with various mixed-criticality schedulers as a supplementary method. We expect this algorithm will be used for scheduling LO-tasks such as communication task that requires safety guarantee especially in platooning and autonomous driving by utilizing the advantages of multiple node connectivities.

혼합 중요도(mixed criticality) 시스템은 안전에 중요한 기능을 우선시하도록 하는 추가적인 안전 요구사항이 존재한다. 그러나 기존 실시간 시스템의 설계로는 이를 만족하지 못하며, 높은 중요도 태스크가 다른 낮은 중요도 태스크로부터 간섭을 받아 데드라인 미스와 같은 문제를 일으키는 중요도 역전(criticality inversion) 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 중요도 역전 문제를 해결하기 위해 주기 변환(period transformation) 기법을 사용할 수 있지만, 스케줄링 오버헤드의 증가로 인해 오히려 전반적인 태스크의 응답시간이 증가하는 또 다른 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 주기 변환과 스케줄링 오버헤드 간의 트레이드오프 관계를 설명하고, 실시간 리눅스 시스템에서 해당 문제점을 재연한 후 주기 변환의 적정선을 분석하고자 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 중요도 역전 문제를 해결하기 위한 주기 변환을 그대로 적용할 경우, 문맥 교환이 48.7% 증가 및 스케줄링 오버헤드가 28.7% 증가로 인해 전반적인 응답시간이 증가하여 데드라인 미스가 다수 발생하는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

Due to rapid development of semiconductor technology, embedded systems have been developed from single-functional system to the multi-functional system. The system composed of software that has different criticality level is called Mixed-Criticality System. Currently, the project related to the Mixed-Criticality System is accelerating the efforts to seek the development direction and take technical initiatives led by EU and USA where the related industry has developed, but the movement in Korea is yet insignificant. Therefore, it is urgent to perform the research and project of various basic technologies to occupy the initiative for the related technology and market. In this paper, we analyze the trends of major project researches and developments related to the MCS. First, after defining the definition of the MCS and system model, we analyze the underlying technology constituting the MCS. In addition, we analyze the project trends of each country researching MCS and discuss the future research areas. Through this study, it is possible to grasp the research trends of the world in order to establish the research direction of the MCS and to lay the foundation for the integration into the military system.
