WCET-aware parallelization of model-based applications for multi-cores: The ARGO approach

Parallel architectures are nowadays not only confined to the domain of high performance computing, they are also increasingly used in embedded time-critical systems. The ARGO H2020 project1 provides a programming paradigm and associated tool flow to exploit the full potential of architectures in terms of development productivity, time-to-market, exploitation of the platform computing power and guaranteed real-time performance. In this paper we give an overview of the objectives of ARGO and explore the challenges introduced by our approach.
