Real-Time Design Patterns: Robust Scalable Architecture for Real-Time Systems

Chapter 5. Concurrency Patterns

The following patterns are presented in this chapter.

• Message Queuing Pattern: Robust asynchronous task rendezvous

• Interrupt Pattern: Fast short event handling

• Guarded Call Pattern: Robust synchronous task rendezvous

• Rendezvous Pattern: Generalized task rendezvous

• Cyclic Executive Pattern: Simple task scheduling

• Round Robin Pattern: Fairness in task scheduling

• Static Priority Pattern: Preemptive multitasking for schedulable systems

• Dynamic Priority Pattern: Preemptive multitasking for complex systems

Introduction

This chapter focuses on the next aspect of architecture: concurrency. The concurrency architecture includes the control and scheduling of the architectural elements. This includes the management of resources that ...
