  • Achieving deterministic execution of time critical code sections in multi-core systems
    Patent number: 9286137
    Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for detecting a time critical code section associated with a real time processor core and suspending execution on a suspendable processor core in response to the time critical code section. Additionally, execution on the suspendable core may be resumed when the real time processor core reaches the end of the time critical code section. In one example, execution is suspended by issuing an inter-processor interrupt (IPI) from the real time core to the suspendable core, wherein execution may be resumed when the real time core conducts a write to a memory location that is monitored by the suspendable core during suspension of execution.
