Description

Presenter: Magnus Karlsson, Systems Architect, Enea, magnus.karlsson@enea.comAbstract: Using multicore chips for real-time operating systems (RTOS) have become a major focus of the industry. Many approaches have been suggested: use a SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) OS; run individual OSes on each core in an AMP (asymmetric multiprocessing) solution; or run on bare metal without any OS. Each approach has its pros and cons. With SMP you get great flexibility, but you have to rewrite your applications and pay a performance penalty for sharing of OS resources you might not use. With AMP, you get better performance but there is a major effort in getting the OSes to cooperate. Finally, with bare metal you get the best performance, but you have to write all of the OS-like functionality you need yourself.In this talk, we present the multicore version of our RTOS OSE, in which we aim to get bare metal performance combined with much of the flexibility of an SMP OS. The focus of the presentation will be on the design trade-offs we have made in order to achieve this goal and the hypervisor technology we have introduced. As a case study, we show how OSE multicore version can be used in a carrier-grade telecommunications platform, to provide good performance, scalability and flexibility.The seminar is a guest lecture in the Parallel systems course given at IDT this Autumn: http://www.idt.mdh.se/kurser/dva314/
