Duetto: Latency Guarantees at Minimal Performance Cost

The management of shared hardware resources in multi-core platforms has been characterized by a fundamental trade-off: high-performance arbiters typically employed in COTS systems offer no worst-case guarantees, while dedicated real-time controllers provide timing guarantees at the cost of significantly degrading system performance. In this paper, we overcome this trade-off by introducing Duetto, a novel hardware resource management paradigm. …
