Meeting deadlines is a key requirement in safe realtime systems. Worst-case execution
times (WCET) of tasks are needed for safe planning. Contemporary worst-case timing …

This paper presents details of how to perform thread integration to provide low-cost
concurrency for general-purpose microcontrollers and microprocessors. A post-pass …

In recent years, a growing number of small single-chip embedded systems are used in very
high volumes, for example in the automotive industry. Due to the high volumes, these …

This dissertation introduces software thread integration (STI) and its use for migrating
functions from hardware to software (HSM). STI interleaves multiple software threads at the …

We present a formal approach to implement fault-tolerance in real-time embedded systems.
The initial fault-intolerant system consists of a set of independent periodic tasks scheduled …

Software thread integration (STI) is a compilation technique which enables the efficient use
of an application's fine-grain idle time on generic processors without special hardware …

We present methods to add efficient cryptographic support to low-performance embedded
processors with embedded networks (eg sensor networks). Software thread integration (STI) …

Software thread integration provides low-cost concurrency on general-purpose processors
by automatically interleaving multiple threads of control into one. This simplifies hardware to …

This document describes an experimental implementation of a communication network
protocol bridge for a high-temperature (200 C/392 F) application. The software uses a novel …

Embedded systems require control of many concurrent real-time activities, leading to system
designs which feature multiple hardware peripherals with each providing a specific …
