A Task Equalization Allocation Algorithm Incorporating Blocking Estimation and Resource Similarity Analysis for Vehicle Control Real-Time Systems

Abstract

In multi-core real-time vehicle control systems, synchronization blocking and resource contention pose critical challenges due to increasing task parallelism and shared resource access. These issues significantly degrade system schedulability and real-time performance, as traditional task allocation algorithms often overlook blocking impacts, leading to high scheduling failure rates under heavy loads. To address this, we propose the BR-WFD algorithm, which integrates blocking time estimation and resource similarity analysis. The algorithm minimizes global blocking overhead by prioritizing tasks with high synchronization sensitivity and aggregating shared-resource-accessing tasks onto the same core. Extensive simulations show that BR-WFD reduces required processor cores by 11\% to 28\% and maintains a 15\% to 20\% higher schedulable ratio compared to traditional methods under high-load and resource-competitive scenarios. This demonstrates its effectiveness in enhancing real-time performance and resource efficiency for multi-core task scheduling in intelligent driving systems.

xTier: Intelligent Tiering for CXL-Enabled Memory

CXL-enabled memory expands server memory capacity, but introduces a page-placement problem: the operating system must decide which pages should reside in DRAM and which should reside on slower CXL memory. Existing systems make this tradeoff in one of two ways. Userspace controllers support flexible policies, but expose placement decisions to scheduler jitter and kernel-userspace crossing overhead. Kernel-space systems avoid this latency, but rely on fixed heuristics that must generalize across workloads. We present xTier, a kernel-resident learned memory-tiering system. xTier attaches eBPF programs to PEBS events and uses a compact quantized MLP to score sampled pages inside the kernel at microsecond-scale latency. Rather than reacting to every candidate, xTier converges to a low-churn placement for the current workload phase, reduces sampling cost after convergence, and returns to a higher sampling cadence when the workload shifts. We evaluate xTier on six memory-bound workloads at DRAM:CXL ratios from 1:5 to 1:25. The advantage grows as the DRAM budget tightens. At 1:15 and beyond, xTier is the fastest system in 14 of 18 configurations. Where it is not fastest, it trails the best baseline by 3.9% on average. It reaches this performance while moving 13% fewer pages in geometric mean, and 22% fewer at the tighter ratios. When a workload changes phase, xTier rebuilds its hot set in DRAM faster and more completely than any baseline.

TierBPF: Page Migration Admission Control for Tiered Memory via eBPF

Software-based memory tiering systems decide which pages to place on the slower or faster tier. However, they do not consider two important factors that greatly influence application performance: the size of the migrated pages, and the underlying hardware device and tiering topology. We introduce TierBPF, a software mechanism that can be plugged into existing memory tiering systems to take these factors into account, by making architecture-aware page admission decisions. TierBPF is implemented as a set of eBPF hooks, allowing users to define their custom policies. In order to make its decisions, TierBPF utilizes a lightweight tracking mechanism for page profiling which is not dependent on the application's working set size. TierBPF, integrated into three memory tiering systems and evaluated with 17 workloads, achieves geomean throughput gains of up to 15.9% with improvements of up to 75% for individual workloads.

Don't Let AI Agents YOLO Your Files: Information and Control in Agent-Native Filesystems

AI coding agents regularly misuse their filesystem access, causing data corruption, loss, and leakage. We conduct the first systematic study of this problem through an analysis of 290 public reports. Our study reveals two fundamental gaps: users and agents have limited information about filesystem effects and insufficient control over them. To close these gaps, we propose to shift information and control from agents to filesystems. We introduce agent-native filesystems and identify three primitives they should provide: introspect effects, undo mutations, and gate accesses. These primitives let agents operate autonomously while reserving user interaction for sensitive accesses and final review. We build YoloFS, an agent-native filesystem. YoloFS stages mutations until the user commits them, snapshots intermediate states for agent self-correction, and uses progressive permission to let users adapt access rules during execution. We evaluate YoloFS with a new methodology that captures interactions among the user, agent, and filesystem. On 11 tasks with hidden side effects, YoloFS enables agents to self-correct in 8 and stages all mutations for user review. On 112 routine tasks, YoloFS reduces user interaction while matching the baseline success rate. YoloFS is open-sourced at https://github.com/YoloFS/YoloFS.
