System requirement analysis have been made in an excellent way and scheduling theory have been applied. The master thesis also contains a prototype implementation of an optimal priority assignment scheduler. The report is well written and the work should generate general industrial interest." The price consist of a check of SEK 2000, travel and subsistence for participation in the conference SNART 97, Lund 21-22 Aug 1997. The work will be presented at the conference. / Anders Törne Dept Computer Science Linkopings universitet 581 83 Linkoping ------------------------------- Date: Thu, 28 Aug 1997 09:14:40 +0200 From: Anders Torne Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by portofix.ida.liu.se id JAA24959 Sender: owner-idaint@ida.liu.se Precedence: bulk Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Length: 1312 Patrik Lantto mottog priset vid SNART97 i Lund 21-22 aug.

OPQ develops systems for measurement of a number of road surface parameters. The calculations are performed in real-time, primarily on digital signal processors. New calculations with higher demands on performance than can be met by the current system, and the wish to be able to share calculations that are common for different parameters has led to OPQ investigating how a new system could be designed. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the requirements for a new system, primarily based on the theory of real-time systems. Proposed solutions to fulfil the requirements are presented, and parts of the system are also implemented on a processor selected by OPQ. The result shows that the chosen processor and the new system are fully capable of replacing the current system, and that the implemented solutions fulfil the presented requirements. Even if another processor is chosen, a new system should be developed based on the real-time theory, and the proposed solutions are then an adequate basis for such development.
