Method for Realising and for Executing a Comprehensive Real-Time Computer Application

摘要

The invention relates to a method for executing a real-time computer application, in particular a comprehensive real-time computer application, wherein a description of functions or of the functions of the real-time computer application is contained in an application software, or for executing an application software, which application software contains a description of functions or of the functions of the real-time computer application, in particular of the comprehensive real-time computer application, on a distributed real-time computer system, which real-time computer system comprises a multiplicity of sensors, actuators, computing nodes and distributor units, and wherein the sensors, actuators, computing nodes and distributor units have access to a global time. The application software is divided into a number of real-time software components RTSWCs, in particular into a plurality of real-time software components RTSWCs, wherein, when the real-time computer application or the application software is executed, the RTSWCs can exchange information by means of time-controlled messages, and wherein each RTSWC is allocated a time-triggered virtual machine TTVM, wherein, during a service interval SI, an operating system running on a computing node provides a TTVM realised on this computing node with protected access to the network resources and memory resources of the computing node assigned to this TTVM, and wherein, during the SI, a defined computing power for processing the RTSWCs running in the TTVM is allocated to the TTVM by the operating system of the computing node in such a way that the RTSWCs can provide a result before the end of the SI.
