Introduction

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 3

Definition - Mixed-Criticality System (MCS)

Mixed-Criticality System (MCS)

A system where applications of different levels of criticality are executedon a shared computing platform.

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 4

Definition - Criticality

Criticality

Criticality is a designation of the level of assurance against failureneeded for a system component. Burns, Davis [1]

example classifications:

safety-critical / non-safety-critical

entertainment / comfort / safety functions

safety-critical / mission-critical / uncritical

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 5

Criticality levels in Industry

SILs (Safety Integrity Levels)

ASILs (Automotive SILs)

DALs (Development Assurance Levels)

Some relevant safety standards: IEC 61508, DO-178B, ISO 26262

DO-178B

table from [2]

→ Level has huge influence on development costs!!

Current Situation

Huge performance increase in computing→ makes novel applications feasible

Results in addition of lots of comfort / infotainment functions→ major differentiator for manufacturers

But at the same time usage of ES in safety-critical areas is increasing→ X-by-wire,...

Example: current premium car [3],[4]

70 computers, ∼ 100 electric motors and 3 km of wiring

functions: driver assistance features, ESP systems, motor control,...

future services: weather and traffic information, stations or foodlocation, breakdown or accident assistance,...

→ more functions integrated, some critical, others less so

similar situation in other domains: aerospace, medical systems,manufacturing equipment,...

Proposed Solution

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 11

Benefits of integration

Reduced Size, Weight and Power (SWaP)

cf. car: 3 km of wiring, 70 ECUs

Lower hardware cost

Increased reliability

cf. connectors & cables

Motivation - Utilize Multi-core Processors

Multi-core processors are becoming prevalent in Embedded Systems

estimated deployment in industrial applications: 45% [5]

Typically only one core used (in safety-critical applications)

→ want to better utilize them by executing multiple applications (possiblyof different criticality)

But:

need to isolate applications of different criticality

WCET analysis on mult-core is very difficult

→ lots of ongoing research

Motivation - Conclusion

MCS are an increasingly important trend in the design of real-timeand embedded systems

Huge interest from industry

Priority topic on European funded research projects

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 14

Challenges

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 15

Certification - The ”Lift-Up Effect”

[6]

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 16

Multi-core processors

Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) multi-core platforms are a source ofindeterminism.

Shared resources that cause temporal unpredictability:

Caches

Memory

I/O

→ application in one core can affect temporal behaviour of application inanother core

→ can lead to prohibitive certification costs

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 17

Fundamental Challenges

Heterogenity

Dissimilar requirements in terms of timing: firm, soft, hard,non-realtime

Different models of computation: dataflow, time-triggered messaging,distributed shared memory

Fundamental research question Burns, Davis [1]

reconcile the conflicting requirements of:

partitioning (for safety assurance)

sharing (for efficient resource usage)

Techniques for Mixed-Criticality Systems

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 19

Scheduling

Focus of much theoretical research on MCSUses criticality-specific WCETs

Assumption: the higher the criticality level of a task, the morepessimistic its WCET

Many standard scheduling results not applicable for MCS

But not much intersection with HW/SW-Codesign.

Partitioning

Strong isolation of applications/partitions:

Execution of one partition MUST NOT beinfluenced by execution of another partition.

Spatial partitioning

Protect one partitions’s memory and access to resources from otherpartitions.

Resources: CPU, memory, network, I/O devices, Interrupts,...

Temporal partitioning

Eliminate temporal interference between partitions.

→ partition the CPU time (and access to resources) among applications

Major benefit of partitioning: reduced certification costs

Architectures for Mixed-Criticality Systems

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 22

Federated Architecture

Applications are executed on separate processors:

→ partitioning of shared network necessary

Partitioning of the Network

Another instance of the fundamental MCS challenge

partition the use of the network to enhance safety

share the capacity of the network to reduce cost

Partitioning by Arbitration: e.g. TDMA

Enforced by Architectural Approaches[7]:

Federated Architecture - Example

Figure: Federated Architecture in a car [8]

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 25

Federated Architecture - Problems

one device per function

more and more functions added

results in excessive resource consumption

premium car: 70-100 ECUs

is being replaced by integrated architectures

enabled by more powerful (multi-core) processors

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 26

Evolution of Architectures

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 27

Integrated Architecture

Applications are executed on a shared processor:

Problem: Partitioning much harder

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 28

Integrated Architecture

Applications are executed on a shared processor:

Problem: Partitioning much harder

→ Solution: use of a Separation Kernel/Hypervisor (Virtualization)

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 29

Separation/Partitioning Kernel

Partitioning Kernel - MILS architecture

”The overall security of a distributed system rests partly on the physicalseparation of its components and partly on the critical functions performedby some of those components. The role which I propose for a securitykernel is simply that it should re-create, within a single sharedmachine, an environment which supports the various components of thesystem, and provides the communications channels between them, in sucha way that individual components of the system cannot distinguishthis shared environment from a physically distributed one.”[9]

→ a hypervisor is one possible implementation of the concept of apartitioning kernel

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 30

Virtualization

Hypervisor (aka. Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM))

”computer software, firmware, or hardware, that creates and runs virtualmachines” (Wikipedia)

Type-1 (native / bare-metal) Type-2 (hosted)

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 31

Virtualization: Type-1 vs. Type-2 Performance

Figure: Number of mode-switches for a syscall (Type-1 vs. Type-2 Hypervisor)

→ hybrids exist:

Linux KVM

FreeBSD’s bhyve

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 32

Virtualization: Options

Type-1 vs. Type-2

Full virtualization vs. para-virtualization vs. binary translation

→ in MCS: mostly type-1 with para-virtualization

highest performance

OS sources often available

But also full virtualization becoming possible by added HW support

Main problems prohibiting full virtualization [10]

instruction set is not virtualizable

memory management

interrupt handling

I/O device handling

→ necessary HW Support: Supervisor Mode, MMU, EPT, IOMMU,...

Problems to be solved for MCS:

Memory Arbitration

Caches: invalidate them at context switches, or partitioned caches

I/O Arbitration

Interrupts

Communication/Networking: TDMA,...

Mixed-Criticality Systems vs. TMR

Figure: Failure containment regions and fault containment modules [11]

MCS/Composability: failure containment regions

TMR: fault containment modules

”The majority of the research in mixed-criticality systems do not considerthe possibility of permanent faults”[12]

More Definitions

A system containing computer hardware and software that can executeseveral applications of different criticality. (Wikipedia)

[...] is the integration of components with different levels of criticality ontoa common hardware platform. (Alan Burns and Robert I. Davis)

Systems where applications of different security or safety-criticality sharethe same hardware. (Varun Sethi & Michael Paulitsch)

Integration of functions with different safety assurance levels using ashared computing platform. (Roman Obermaisser)

Systems composed of a mixture of safety-critical and non-critical parts, asfor example when an aircraft contains a passenger entertainment systemthat is isolated from the safety-critical flight systems.

Johannes Obermuller Mixed-Criticality Systems January 24, 2017 46

More Definitions (ctd.)

A mixed criticality system is ”an integrated suite of HW, OS, middlewareservices and application software that supports the concurrent execution ofsafety-critical, mission-critical, and non-critical software within a single,secure computing platform”, i.e. a system containing computer hardwareand software that executes concurrently several applications of differentcriticality (such as safety-critical and non-safety critical).
