Computer-Implemented Method And An Electronic Control Unit For A Deterministic Data Communication In A Partitioned Embedded System

A computer-implemented method for a deterministic data communication in a partitioned embedded system, a software of the embedded system comprises a plurality of software clusters, each software cluster includes functional tasks and cross cluster communicational tasks, the method comprises:

• providing an execution schedule;
• providing, in the execution schedule, predefined functional windows for the functional tasks of the plurality of the software clusters;
• providing, in the execution schedule, dedicated cross cluster communicational windows for the cross cluster communicational tasks of the plurality of the software clusters, the cross cluster communication tasks provide cross cluster communication, the cross cluster communicational windows are distinct from the functional windows;
• executing the execution schedule, wherein the functional tasks of the plurality of the software clusters are executed in the predefined functional windows and the cross cluster communication tasks of the plurality of the software clusters are executed in the dedicated cross cluster communication windows;
• and
• realizing, the deterministic data communication in the partitioned embedded system for cross cluster communication by way of the execution schedule.
