The paper entitled "Improved Memory Contention Analysis for the 3-Phase Task Model" authored by Jatin Arora, Syed Aftab Rashid, Geoffrey Nelissen, Claudio Maia, and Eduardo Tovar was the Best Paper Candidate of the 30th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Application (RTCSA). RTCSA 2024 took place on 21-23 August 2024 in Sokcho, South Korea.
The paper addresses the problem of DRAM contention in modern COTS multicore platforms and provides a fine-grained analysis to upper-bound the contention that phased tasks, e.g., the 3-phase tasks, can suffer. This achievement marks an important milestone toward predictable multicore platforms.
