Abstract There is a growing interest in leveraging functional programming languages in real-time and embedded contexts. Functional languages are appealing as many are strictly typed, amenable to formal methods, have limited mutation, and have simple but powerful concurrency control mechanisms. Although there have been many recent proposals for specialized domain-specific languages for embedded and real-time systems, there has been relatively little progress on adapting more general purpose functional languages for programming embedded and real-time systems. In this paper, we present our current work on leveraging Standard ML (SML) in the embedded and real-time domains. Specifically, we detail our experiences in modifying MLton, a whole-program optimizing compiler for SML, for use in such contexts. We focus primarily on the language runtime, reworking the threading subsystem, object model, and garbage collector. We provide preliminary results over a radar-based aircraft collision detector ported to SML.

Concurrency control mechanisms including the wait, time-stamp and rollback mechanisms have been briefly discussed. The concepts of validation in optimistic approach are summarized in a detailed view. Various algorithms have been discussed regarding the degree of concurrency and classes of serializability. Practical questions relating arrival rate of transactions have been presented. Performance evaluation of concurrency control algorithms including degree of concurrency and system behavior have been briefly conceptualized. At last, ideas like multidimensional timestamps, relaxation of two-phase locking, system defined prewrites, flexible transactions and adaptability for increasing concurrency have been summarized.
