HiRES 2013 - HiRES - Workshop on High-performance and real-time embedded systems

As stated in the HiPEAC roadmap Computing Systems: Research Challenges Ahead, time is relevant. The correct timing behaviour of systems is fundamental for embedded systems, which interact with the physical world. Examples range from for safety-critical systems, such as ABS brakes and avionics, to consumer systems, such as video processing in TV sets and games.

In all these applications, systems are expected to cope with an increasing demand of functional and non-functional requirements, with the corresponding increase in processing capabilities, paving the way for high-performance architectures, of which multi-core and many-core systems are becoming pervasive. Although different approaches can be used, the power and challenges of parallelization as a means to provide higher performance is a cross-cutting concern.

This workshop intends to bring together researchers and engineers in the confluence of high-performance, embedded systems and real-time systems. The goal is to allow for fruitful discussions on the challenges and research directions that should be tackled by the community. Papers are invited to illustrate current and future work in the theory and practice of the design and engineering of high-performance real-time embedded systems for a variety of application domains.

Topics of interest to this edition of the workshop include but are not limited to:

? Runtimes and operating systems for high-performance and predictable real-time systems;
? Programming models and compiler support for real-time multi and many-core architectures;
? Models and tools for code generation, system verification and validation;
? Worst-case execution time analysis, parallel task models, schedulability analysis of multi- and many-core systems;
? Heterogeneous multi-core embedded real-time systems.
