CYBERPHYSICAL SYSTEMS
![Page 50: Lecture 0: Introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/568156f9550346895dc4a3de/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
What are Embedded Systems?
![Page 51: Lecture 0: Introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/568156f9550346895dc4a3de/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
What are Embedded Systems?
•Computers whose job is not primarily information processing, but rather is interacting with physical processes.
•Examples: Automotive controllers Avionics Medical devices Industrial control Energy management and conservation
•A broader view is that of cyber-physical systems (CPS)
![Page 52: Lecture 0: Introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/568156f9550346895dc4a3de/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
What are Embedded Systems?•Computational systems
– but not first-and-foremost a computer•Integral with physical processes
– sensors, actuators, physical dynamics•Reactive
– at the speed of the environment (timing matters!)•Heterogeneous
– hardware/software/networks, mixed architectures•Networked
– concurrent, distributed, dynamic
![Page 53: Lecture 0: Introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/568156f9550346895dc4a3de/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
2001 National Research Council ReportEmbedded Everywhere
•“Information technology (IT) is on the verge of another revolution. Driven by the increasing capabilities and ever declining costs of computing and communications devices, IT is being embedded into a growing range of physical devices linked together through networks and will become ever more pervasive as the component technologies become smaller, faster, and cheaper... These networked systems of embedded computers ... have the potential to change radically the way people interact with their environment by linking together a range of devices and sensors that will allow information to be collected, shared, and processed in unprecedented ways. ... The use of [these embedded computers] throughout society could well dwarf previous milestones in the information revolution.”

CPS Example – Printing Press
• High-speed, high precision• Speed: 1 inch/ms• Precision: 0.01 inch
-> Time accuracy: 10us
• Open standards (Ethernet)• Synchronous, Time-Triggered• IEEE 1588 time-sync
protocol
• Application aspects• local (control)• distributed (coordination)• global (modes)

Where CPS Differs fromthe traditional embedded systems problem:
•The traditional embedded systems problem:Embedded software is software on small computers. The technical problem is one of optimization (coping with limited resources and extracting performance).
•The CPS problem:Computation and networking integrated with physical processes. The technical problem is managing dynamics, time, and concurrency in networked computational + physical systems.
![Page 59: Lecture 0: Introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/568156f9550346895dc4a3de/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
A Key Challenge on the Cyber Side:Real-Time Software
•Correct execution of a program in C, C#, Java, Haskell, etc. has nothing to do with how long it takes to do anything. All our computation and networking abstractions are built on this premise.
Timing of programs is not repeatable, except at very coarse granularity.
Programmers have to step outside the programming abstractions to specify timing behavior.

What this course is about
• A principled and scientific approach to engineering embedded systems– Modeling, Design, Implementation, Testing,
Analysis– Not just hacking!
![Page 68: Lecture 0: Introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/568156f9550346895dc4a3de/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Traditionally, embedded systems has been an industrial (not academic) problem, about resource limitations.
small memory small data word sizes relatively slow clocks
•When these are the key problems, emphasize efficiency: write software at a low level (in assembly code or C) avoid operating systems with a rich suite of services develop specialized computer architectures:
– programmable DSPs– network processors
develop specialized networks– Can, FlexRay, TTP/C, MOST, etc.
•This is how embedded SW has been designed for 30 years
![Page 69: Lecture 0: Introduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/568156f9550346895dc4a3de/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
But embedded systems do have more fundamental differences from general-purpose computation:
•time matters– “as fast as possible” is not good enough
•concurrency is intrinsic– it’s not an illusion (as in time sharing), and– it’s not (necessarily) about exploiting parallelism
•processor requirements can be specialized– predictable, repeatable timing– support for common operations (e.g. FIR filters)– need for specialized data types (fixed point, bit vectors)
•programs need to run (essentially) forever– memory usage has to be bounded (no leaks!!)– rebooting is not acceptable

What about “real time”?
Make it faster!What if you need “absolutely positively on time”?
Today, most embedded software engineers write code, build your system, and test for timing. Model-based design seeks to specify dynamic behavior (including timing) and “compile” implementations that meet the behavior.

Prioritize and Pray!
Real-Time Multitasking?
All too often, real-time operating systems (RTOSs) are used in a rather ad hoc way. Without any particular principles, engineers tweak priorities until the prototype works under test.
The resulting system is brittle, meaning the small changes in the operating conditions (or in the design of the system) can cause big changes in behavior. For example, replacing the processor with a faster one can cause real-time failures.

An engineer’s responsibility
Korean Air 747 in Guam, 200 deaths (1997) 30,000 deaths and 600,000 injuries from medical devices (1985-2005)
– perhaps 8% due to software?

A Story
•A “fly by wire” aircraft, expected to be made for 50 years, requires a 50-year stockpile of the hardware components that execute the software.
•All must be made from the same mask set on the same production line. Even a slight change or “improvement” might affect timing and require the software to be re-certified.

Abstraction Layers•The purpose for an abstraction is to hide details of the implementation below and provide a platform for design from above.

Abstraction Layers•Every abstraction layer has failed for time-sensitive applications.

Is the problem intrinsic in the technology?
•Electronics technology delivers highly repeatable and precise timing…
•… and the overlaying software abstractions discard it.
