AB  - Time-Triggered Network-on-Chip (TTNoC) and Multi-Processor-System on a Chip (MPSoC) are networking concepts aiming at providing both predictable and high-throughput communication for modern multiprocessor systems. Time-triggered networks play an important role in safety-critical systems, where their inherent properties such as temporal predictability, fault tolerance and composability improve safety and reduce certification costs. Time-triggered networks use timeplans, which define the points in time of all message exchanges with respect to a global time base. In multi-cluster time-triggered systems of large embedded systems (e.g. automotive, avionics), conflict-free paths along switches and endsystems are defined for each message. The conflict-free temporal and spatial allocation of communication resources in combination with an intelligent communication network (e.g. local and central guardians) prevents interference between messages from different components upon integration and in the presence of faults.
Therefore message scheduling in TTNoCs is one of the major challenges, where the points in time for the transmission of a message with conflict-free paths through the switches are determined. As the scheduling problem is NP-complete this work introduces a novel scheduling framework based on the latest advancements of theorem solvers such as Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) techniques which have successfully been applied to problem instances of this complexity class.
In addition this work also investigates different concepts to partition the problem instances allowing the application of parallel computing to further accelerate the proposed scheduling framework.
MPSoC architectures and their specific architectural properties will require scheduling tools capable of dealing with the increasing complexity of the systems. To meet these challenges we will outline how the proposed scheduling framework performs after it has been ported to an MPSoC emulating target system. We compare its performance to state-of-the-art schedulers based on CPLEX.  Furthermore we will analyze how the proposed scheduling framework can be deployed to recover from faults by re-scheduling the system under consideration at runtime.
