Abstract
This work presents CArb, an arbiter for controlling accesses to the shared memory bus in multi-core mixed criticality systems. CArb is a requirement-aware arbiter that optimally allocates service to tasks based on their requirements. It is also criticality-aware since it incorporates criticality as a first-class principle in arbitration decisions. CArb supports any number of criticality levels and does not impose any restrictions on mapping tasks to processors. Hence, it operates in tandem with existing processor scheduling policies. In addition, CArb is able to dynamically adapt memory bus arbitration at run time to respond to increases in the monitored execution times of tasks. Utilizing this adaptation, CArb is able to offset these increases; hence, postpones the system need to switch to a degraded mode. We prototype CArb, and evaluate it with an avionics case-study from Honeywell as well as synthetic experiments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
