An architecture supporting real-time programming and implementations

Abstract

This paper describes a real-time architecture based on a deadline driven dataflow machine and the hardware implementation of the architecture in the form of resource adequate Simple-processors (S-processors). The machine-level language and a high-level visual language are described, which enable implementation-detail-free programs to be written. The implementation of a real-time system on a resource adequate S-processor architecture requires no effort to be spent on schedulability analysis for temporal correctness.
