In this paper, we show the performance comparison and analysis result among three RTOSes: the Real-Time Unit (RTU) hardware RTOS, the pure software Atalanta RTOS and a hardware/software RTOS composed of part of Atalanta interfaced to the System-on-a-Chip Lock Cache (SoCLC) hardware. We also present our RTOS configuration framework that can automatically configure these three RTOSes. The average-case simulation result of a database application example on a three-processor system running thirty tasks with RTU and the same system with SoCLC showed 36% and 19% overall speedups, respectively, as compared to the pure software RTOS system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
