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

Abstract The advancement of the powertrain control increases the amount of computation. Mass 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 engine control software, various problems occur when implementing engine control software on 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 for discrete-time Models, which has decomposed sequential structure and decreases execution time in the embedded multi/many-core mass production ECU.
