Application Constraints and Safety Aware Mapping of AUTOSAR Applications on Multi-core Platforms

In order to reduce the size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C), adoption of high-performance multi-core platforms has received significant interest in the field of Automotive electronics. Deploying real-time automotive applications that adhere to the AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture (AUTOSAR) standards and guidelines on multi-core platforms has several architectural challenges. In this paper, we propose heuristic-based approaches for the safe and efficient allocation of AUTOSAR applications on multi-core platforms with the consideration of application level constraints and architectural features such as Cache Locking. We also formulate an Integer Linear Program (ILP) for the same allocation problem and compare the effectiveness of both heuristic-based and ILP approaches.
