Dear all,
We just got the information that our paper has been accepted to FMCAD.
It is about a tool for generating automatically schedules for Time
Sensitive Networks (TSN). More information below.
We will acknowledge SPARTA for the final version.
TSNsched: Automated Schedule Generation for Time Sensitive Networking
Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards enabling high
performance deterministic communication using time scheduling. Due to the
size of industrial networks, configuring TSN networks is challenging to be
done manually. We present TSNsched, a tool for automatic generation of
schedules for TSN. TSNsched takes as input the logical topology of a net-
work, expressed as flows, and outputs schedules for TSN switches by using
an SMT-solver. The generated schedule guarantees the desired network
performance (specified in terms of latency and jitter), if such schedules
exist. TSNsched supports unicast and multicast flows, such as, in Publish
Subscribe networks; can combine existing variants of TSN scheduling
problems, and reason about the best-effort and priority TSN traffic.
TSNsched can be run as a standalone tool and also allows rapid prototyping
with the available JAVA API. We evaluate TSNsched on a number of
realistic-size network topologies. TSNsched can generate high performance
schedules, with average latency less than 1000μs, and average jitter less
than 20μs, for TSN networks, with up to 73 subscribers and up to 10
multicast flows.
Best,
Vivek Nigam
