SoCDep2: A framework for dependable task deployment on many-core systems under mixed-criticality constraints

Abstract

In this paper, an open-source framework for task deployment of mixed-critical and non-critical applications under dependability constraints in Network-on-Chip (NoC) based systems is introduced. This system level design space exploration is guided by a System Health Monitoring Unit which keeps a holistic view of system health status. The framework supports task clustering, mapping and scheduling of different applications, using different heuristics, on a NoC-based architecture which can have different topologies. This enables exploration of 2D and 3D typologies, any turn model based routing algorithm, fault monitoring mechanisms and different fault models (Link, Turn, Node).
