Dynamic reconfiguration of threads in real-time system working on precision time regime

The paper concerns design of real time systems that meet precision time (PRET) requirements. A new, original architecture of the multithread embedded system with programmable interleaved pipelining is introduced. Main components are described with special attention devoted to the interleave controller. This element of the system is responsible for controlling of the order of threads loaded into the processor´s pipeline. The idea of shadow deadline processing arbiter responsible for dynamic reconfiguration of performed threads (tasks) is given. Results of the implementation and simulation of different arbitration schemes are discussed. Conclusions emphasizing the flexibility and advantages of the proposed solution summarize the paper.
