Galois is pleased to host the following tech talk. These talks are open to the interested public. Please join us!
- title: Copilot: A Hard Real-Time Runtime Monitor (slides, video)
- speaker: Lee Pike
- time: 10:30am, Tuesday, 9 November 2010
- location:
- Galois Inc.421 SW 6th Ave. Suite 300, Portland, OR, USA(3rd floor of the Commonwealth building)
- abstract:
- We address the problem of runtime monitoring for hard real-time programs—a domain in which correctness is critical yet has largely been overlooked in the runtime monitoring community. We describe the challenges to runtime monitoring for this domain as well as an approach to satisfy the challenges. The core of our approach is a language and compiler called Copilot. Copilot is a stream-based dataflow language that generates small constant-time and constant-space C programs, implementing embedded monitors. Copilot also generates its own scheduler, obviating the need for an underlying real-time operating system. This talk will include fun pictures and videos.
