Abstract
Real-time systems are widely used from the automotive industry to the aerospace industry. The scientists, researchers, and engineers who develop real-time platforms, worst-case execution time analysis methods and tools need to compare their solutions to alternatives. For this purpose, they use benchmark applications. Today many of our computing systems are multiprocessor/multicore systems. Therefore, to be able to compare the effectiveness of real-time platforms, worst-case execution time analysis methods and tools, the research community need multi-threaded benchmark applications which scale on multicore systems. In this paper, we present the first version of PBench, a parallel, real-time benchmark suite. PBench includes different types of multi-threaded applications which implement various algorithms from searching to sorting, matrix multiplication to probability distribution calculation. In addition, PBench provides single-threaded versions of all programs to allow side by side comparisons.
Key words: Real-Time Systems, Benchmark Suite, Parallel Programming, Software Engineering
