Publication InformationManuscript Completed: July 1993 Prepared by
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Prepared for AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to recommend regulatory guidance for reviewers examining real-time
performance of computer-based safety systems used in nuclear power plants. Three areas of guidance are
covered in this report. The first area covers how to determine if, when, and what prototypes should be
required of developers to make a convincing demonstration that specific problems have been solved or
that performance goals have been met. The second area has recommendations for timing analyses that
will prove that the real-time system will meet its safety-imposed deadlines. The third area has
descriptions of means for assessing expected or actual real-time performance before, during, and after
development is completed. To ensure that the delivered real-time software product meets performance
goals, the paper recommends certain types of code-execution and communications scheduling. Technical |
