Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract As a key part of model‐driven development, modeling allows users to represent the application workflow or to automatically generate source code. This is convenient for developers, particularly to create or improve real‐time applications embedded in complex systems. Multicore systems are difficult to debug because the concurrently running processes can interfere with each other. In real‐time systems, timing constraints add to the complexity, invalidating results when a deadline is missed. Tracing is usually the most accurate and reliable tool to study the runtime behaviour of those applications. However, the interpretation of voluminous detailed execution traces requires a deep understanding of the operating system and application behaviour, and time to dig through the millions of trace events.In this paper, we present the use of model‐based constraints on top of user‐space and kernel traces to provide weighted analysis results. Our algorithms have been applied to multiple traces showing common problems for multi‐core real‐time systems. The experimental results show that our algorithms can quickly identify many different types of problems with a low runtime, even for traces with millions of events, thus helping to save time when analyzing thousands of trace events for complex systems.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
