A Parallelized Method for Continuous-Time Models with Dependence on Calculation Order

The advancement of the engine control increases the amount of computation. The production ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which is made of single-core architecture, cannot have a higher clock speed. Using multi-/many-core architecture is the only way to decrease execution time. However, when implementing the engine control software, various problems occur in utilization of the multi-/many-core ECU. One of the biggest problems is sequential structure of control software because the software can only execute with one core on the multi-/many-core ECU.The purpose of this paper is to describe the parallelized control design method, which has decomposed sequential structure and decreases execution time in the embedded multi-/many-core production ECU.
