Experimental Partnership - Hardware-Software Co-Design of Real-Time Operating Systems and Embedded Microprocessors

题目：实时操作系统和嵌入式微处理器的软硬件协同设计本实验研究的目的是通过模拟处理器，构建硬件可编程门阵列原型，实现实时操作系统和虚拟机环境来支持相关的嵌入式应用，从而提高嵌入式应用的性能，可预测性和可靠性。这项工作必须通过实验而不是理论上进行，因为在设计和实现分析模型方面存在困难，这些模型非常复杂，足以为现实世界系统的设计提供信息。硬件和软件元素的并行设计应该比单独设计任何一个元素带来更高的集成度和更高的性能。

EIA-0000439Bruce Jacob University of MarylandTitle: Hardware-Software Co-Design of Real-Time Operating Systems and Embedded MicroprocessorsThe objective of this experimental research is to improve the performance, predictability, and reliability of embedded applications by simulating a processor, building a hardware filed-programmable gate array prototype and implementing a real-time operating system and virtual machine environment to support associated embedded applications. This work must be approached experimentally rather than theoretically due to the difficulty in designing and implementing analytical models which are complex enough to inform the design of real world systems. The design of hardware and software elements concurrently should lead to greater integration and higher performance by several orders of magnitude than the design of either element separately.
