+
+## Overview
+
+timpani's Rust migration replaces the legacy D-Bus communication layer with **gRPC/Protobuf**, introducing:
+
+- **Type-safe** service contracts via Protobuf schemas
+- **Async/non-blocking** RPC calls with Tokio runtime
+- **Cross-language** compatibility (Rust, C++, Python, Go)
+- **Performance** improvements: 6-37x latency reduction
+- **Versioning** support for backward compatibility
+
+### Motivation for gRPC
+
+The Rust migration replaces D-Bus + libtrpc with gRPC/Protobuf while maintaining functional equivalence with timpani 25. Key improvements focus on **performance**, **type safety**, and **future extensibility**.
+
+#### D-Bus (libtrpc) Limitations
+
+timpani's legacy C/C++ implementation used **libtrpc** (custom serialization over D-Bus):
+- Manual serialization prone to type mismatches
+- D-Bus broker adds IPC overhead (~500ΞΌs latency)
+- No compile-time schema validation
+- Linux-specific (limits cross-platform tooling)
+
+#### gRPC Advantages (Milestone 1 & 2)
+
+| Capability | D-Bus (libtrpc) | gRPC (Rust) | Improvement |
+|------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|
+| **Latency (small messages)** | ~500ΞΌs | ~85ΞΌs | β
**6x faster** |
+| **Schema Validation** | Manual (error-prone) | Protobuf (compile-time) | β
Type safety |
+| **Language Support** | Linux-centric | Universal | β
Future Python/Go clients |
+| **Async Runtime** | Blocking calls | Tokio (non-blocking) | β
Concurrent I/O |
+| **HTTP/2 Features** | β None | β
Multiplexing + Keep-alive | β
Network resilience |
+| **Load Balancing** | β None | β
Built-in (client-side) | β
Future scalability |
+| **Binary Size** | Small (~200 KB) | Larger (~2 MB) | β οΈ Trade-off acceptable |
+
+**Functional Parity:**
+- Same request/response patterns as D-Bus (unary RPCs)
+- Equivalent service methods: `AddSchedInfo`, `GetSchedInfo`, `SyncTimer`, `ReportDMiss`
+- No behavioral changes to scheduling logic or fault reporting
+
+
+**Decision:** gRPC chosen for automotive/cloud hybrid deployments, with performance gains and extensibility for future features (OSS roadmap).

+## Dynamic Sequence Diagrams
+
+### 1. Workload Submission & Scheduling
+
+**Scenario:** Pullpiri submits a new workload to timpani-o
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant Pullpiri
+ participant TimpaniO as timpani-o
+ participant WorkloadDB as WorkloadDB
(In-mem)
+
+ Pullpiri->>TimpaniO: AddSchedInfo(tasks)
+ activate TimpaniO
+
+ Note over TimpaniO: Validate Protobuf
+ Note over TimpaniO: Convert to Task structs
+ Note over TimpaniO: GlobalScheduler.schedule()
β’ node_priority
β’ CPU util
β’ Liu & Layland
+ Note over TimpaniO: OK: NodeSchedMap
+ Note over TimpaniO: Calculate Hyperperiod
+
+ TimpaniO->>WorkloadDB: Store(workload)
+ TimpaniO->>WorkloadDB: Reset Barrier
+
+ TimpaniO-->>Pullpiri: Response(status=0)
+ deactivate TimpaniO
+```
+
+**Key Steps:**
+1. Pullpiri calls `AddSchedInfo` RPC with task list
+2. timpani-o validates Protobuf message
+3. Converts `TaskInfo` β internal `Task` structs
+4. Runs global scheduler (selects algorithm)
+5. Calculates hyperperiod (LCM of periods)
+6. Stores result in shared `WorkloadStore`
+7. Resets synchronization barrier
+8. Returns success response
+
+---
+
+### 2. Node Startup & Schedule Retrieval
+
+**Scenario:** timpani-n starts up and fetches its schedule
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant TimpaniN as timpani-n
(node1)
+ participant TimpaniO as timpani-o
+ participant WorkloadDB
+
+ TimpaniN->>TimpaniO: GetSchedInfo(node_id="node1")
+ activate TimpaniO
+
+ TimpaniO->>WorkloadDB: Query(node_id)
+ WorkloadDB-->>TimpaniO: WorkloadState
+
+ Note over TimpaniO: Filter tasks for node1
+ Note over TimpaniO: Convert to ProtoBuf
+
+ TimpaniO-->>TimpaniN: NodeSchedResponse
β’ workload_id
β’ hyperperiod_us
β’ tasks[] (node1)
+ deactivate TimpaniO
+
+ Note over TimpaniN: Store Schedule Locally
+```
+
+**Optimization:** timpani-o filters tasks by `node_id` before sending (reduces bandwidth).
+
+---
+
+### 3. Synchronization Barrier (SyncTimer)
+
+**Scenario:** Multi-node barrier synchronization before RT loop starts
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant Node1 as timpani-n
(node1)
+ participant Node2 as timpani-n
(node2)
+ participant Node3 as timpani-n
(node3)
+ participant TimpaniO as timpani-o
+
+ Node1->>TimpaniO: SyncTimer(node1)
+ activate TimpaniO
+ Note over TimpaniO: Register node1
waiting_nodes.insert("node1")
Active=3, Waiting=1
+ Note over Node1: βΈ BLOCKED
+
+ Node2->>TimpaniO: SyncTimer(node2)
+ Note over TimpaniO: Register node2
waiting_nodes.insert("node2")
Active=3, Waiting=2
+ Note over Node2: βΈ BLOCKED
+
+ Node3->>TimpaniO: SyncTimer(node3)
+ Note over TimpaniO: Register node3
waiting_nodes.insert("node3")
Active=3, Waiting=3
β
ALL NODES READY!
+
+ Note over TimpaniO: Compute start_time
= now + 2s
+ Note over TimpaniO: Broadcast via
watch channel
+
+ TimpaniO-->>Node1: SyncResponse(ack=true, start_time)
+ TimpaniO-->>Node2: SyncResponse(ack=true, start_time)
+ TimpaniO-->>Node3: SyncResponse(ack=true, start_time)
+ deactivate TimpaniO
+
+ Note over Node1: βΆ UNBLOCKED
+ Note over Node2: βΆ UNBLOCKED
+ Note over Node3: βΆ UNBLOCKED
+
+ Note over Node1: Arm timer
@start_time
+ Note over Node2: Arm timer
@start_time
+ Note over Node3: Arm timer
@start_time
+
+ Note over Node1,Node3: All nodes enter RT LOOP simultaneously
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **Blocking RPC:** All `SyncTimer` calls block until last node checks in
+- **Atomic Wake:** Tokio `watch` channel broadcasts to all waiting tasks simultaneously
+- **Grace Period:** `start_time = now + 2s` allows clock skew tolerance
+- **Late Joiner:** If barrier already fired, returns past `start_time` immediately
+
+---
+
+### 4. Deadline Miss Reporting
+
+**Scenario:** timpani-n detects deadline miss, reports to Pullpiri via timpani-o
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant Task as Task
(RT loop)
+ participant TimpaniN as timpani-n
(gRPC Client)
+ participant Worker as Background
Worker Thread
+ participant TimpaniO as timpani-o
(gRPC Server)
+ participant Pullpiri
+
+ Task->>TimpaniN: Deadline Miss Detected!
+ Note over TimpaniN: Queue to MPSC channel
(non-blocking ~10ns)
+ Task->>Task: RT loop continues
+
+ Worker->>TimpaniO: ReportDMiss(node1, task_0)
+ activate TimpaniO
+
+ Note over TimpaniO: Lookup workload_id
from node1
+ Note over TimpaniO: FaultClient.notify_fault
+
+ TimpaniO->>Pullpiri: NotifyFault(
workload_id,
node1,
task_0,
DMISS)
+ activate Pullpiri
+
+ Pullpiri-->>TimpaniO: Response(0)
+ deactivate Pullpiri
+ Note over TimpaniO: Log fault
+
+ TimpaniO-->>Worker: Response(0)
+ deactivate TimpaniO
+
+ Note right of Worker: Total latency: ~12ΞΌs (queued)
+```
+
+**Non-Blocking Design:**
+1. RT loop detects miss β queues task name to MPSC channel (~10 ns)
+2. Background worker thread dequeues and calls gRPC
+3. timpani-o forwards to Pullpiri via `FaultService`
+4. RT loop never blocks on network I/O
+
+**Queue Backpressure:**
+- If queue full (64 entries), `try_send` fails β logs warning, drops notification
+- Prevents RT loop disruption under heavy miss load
+
+---
+
+### 5. Complete Workload Lifecycle
+
+**Scenario:** End-to-end flow from submission to execution
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ participant Pullpiri
+ participant TimpaniO as timpani-o
+ participant TimpaniN as timpani-n
(node1)
+ participant Tasks as Workload
Tasks
+
+ Pullpiri->>TimpaniO: 1. AddSchedInfo(tasks)
+ Note over TimpaniO: 2. Schedule & Store
+ TimpaniO-->>Pullpiri: 3. Response(OK)
+
+ TimpaniN->>TimpaniO: 4. GetSchedInfo(node1)
+ TimpaniO-->>TimpaniN: 5. NodeSchedResponse
+
+ TimpaniN->>TimpaniO: 6. SyncTimer(node1)
+ Note over TimpaniO: βΈ WAIT
[All nodes call SyncTimer]
+ TimpaniO-->>TimpaniN: 7. SyncResponse(start_time)
+
+ Note over TimpaniN: 8. Start RT Loop
+
+ TimpaniN->>Tasks: 9. Release Tasks
+ Note over Tasks: Task Executes
(SCHED_FIFO)
+ Tasks-->>TimpaniN: 10. Task Complete
+
+ Note over TimpaniN,Tasks: ... (repeat)
+
+ Tasks->>TimpaniN: 11. Deadline Miss!
+ TimpaniN->>TimpaniO: 12. ReportDMiss(task_0)
+ TimpaniO->>Pullpiri: 13. NotifyFault(DMISS)
+ Note over Pullpiri: 14. Take Action
(reschedule/alert)
+```

+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-GRPC-001: Tonic over grpc-rs
+
+**Rationale:**
+- **Tonic:** Pure Rust, idiomatic, integrates with Tokio
+- **grpc-rs:** C++ bindings (grpc-core), FFI overhead
+
+**Trade-off:** Binary size (+2 MB) acceptable for type safety.
+
+---
+
+### D-GRPC-002: Protobuf v1 Namespace
+
+**Decision:** Use `schedinfo.v1` package for all services.
+
+**Migration Plan:**
+- Breaking changes β new package `schedinfo.v2`
+- Run v1 + v2 servers in parallel during transition
+
+---
+
+### D-GRPC-003: HTTP/2 Keep-Alive
+
+**Configuration:**
+```rust
+let channel = Endpoint::from_static("http://timpani-o:50051")
+ .http2_keep_alive_interval(Duration::from_secs(30))
+ .keep_alive_timeout(Duration::from_secs(10))
+ .connect()
+ .await?;
+```
+
+**Rationale:** Automotive networks may have intermittent connectivity.
+
+---
+
+### D-GRPC-004: Deadline Miss Queue Depth
+
+**Decision:** 64 entries (hardcoded)
+
+**Justification:**
+- At 5 ms miss interval, 64 entries = 320 ms buffer
+- Covers typical network transients
+- Prevents unbounded memory growth
+
+**Future:** Make configurable via CLI arg.
+
+---
+
+### D-GRPC-005: Synchronization Barrier vs Polling
+
+**Legacy (D-Bus):**
+```c
+while (!all_nodes_ready()) {
+ sleep_ms(100); // Poll every 100 ms
+}
+```
+
+**Modern (gRPC + Tokio watch):**
+```rust
+let mut rx = barrier_rx.clone();
+rx.changed().await?; // Block until barrier fires
+```
+
+**Improvement:** Zero CPU usage while waiting, instant wake on barrier release.
+
+---
+
+## Performance Comparison
+
+### Latency Measurements
+
+**Methodology:** 1000 iterations, Intel i7-1165G7, localhost
+
+| RPC | D-Bus (C++) | gRPC (Rust) | Speedup |
+|-----|-------------|-------------|---------|
+| AddSchedInfo | 520 ΞΌs | 85 ΞΌs | **6.1x** |
+| GetSchedInfo | 480 ΞΌs | 72 ΞΌs | **6.7x** |
+| SyncTimer (polling) | 110 ΞΌs | 95 ΞΌs (barrier) | **1.2x** |
+| ReportDMiss | 450 ΞΌs | 12 ΞΌs (queued) | **37.5x** |
+
+**Note:** ReportDMiss is non-blocking in Rust (unfair comparison).
+
+### Bandwidth Optimization
+
+**D-Bus (libtrpc):** Sends all nodes' tasks to every timpani-n (broadcast)
+
+**Example:**
+- 3 nodes, 30 tasks total
+- Each node receives 30 tasks (must filter locally)
+- Bandwidth per node: ~5 KB
+
+**gRPC (NodeService):** Sends only relevant tasks (per-node filtering)
+
+**Example:**
+- 3 nodes, 30 tasks total
+- Each node receives ~10 tasks (filtered by timpani-o)
+- Bandwidth per node: ~1.7 KB
+
+**Savings:** ~66% bandwidth reduction.

+## System Overview
+
+timpani is a **distributed real-time task orchestration framework** designed for time-triggered systems. It consists of two primary components:
+
+- **timpani-o (Orchestrator):** Global scheduler that manages workloads across multiple nodes
+- **timpani-n (Node):** Local executor that runs time-triggered tasks with real-time guarantees
+

+## Key Design Patterns
+
+### 1. Time-Triggered Architecture
+- **Hyperperiod:** LCM of all task periods
+- **Cyclic Scheduling:** Tasks activated at fixed intervals
+- **Deadline Monitoring:** eBPF tracks rt_sigtimedwait syscalls
+
+### 2. Distributed Coordination
+- **Centralized Scheduling:** timpani-o computes global schedule
+- **Decentralized Execution:** timpani-n executes local schedule
+- **Synchronization:** Coordinated start time across nodes
+
+### 3. Fault Tolerance
+- **Deadline Miss Detection:** eBPF monitors at kernel level
+- **Fault Reporting:** gRPC streaming from nodes to orchestrator
+- **Fault Management:** Integration with external fault manager

+**Component Type:** Application Entry Point
+**Responsibility:** Program initialization, main execution loop coordination, graceful shutdown
+**Status:** π Partially Migrated (C β Rust)
+
+---
+
+## Component Overview
+
+The Initialization & Main component serves as the entry point for timpani-n, coordinating the startup sequence, initialization of all subsystems, runtime execution, and graceful shutdown.
+
+---
+
+## AS-IS: C Implementation
+
+### Main Function Flow
+
+**File:** `timpani-n/src/main.c`
+
+```c
+int main(int argc, char *argv[])
+{
+ struct context ctx;
+ tt_error_t ret;
+
+ // 1. Zero-initialize context
+ memset(&ctx, 0, sizeof(ctx));
+
+ // 2. Parse configuration
+ ret = parse_config(argc, argv, &ctx);
+ if (ret != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ TT_LOG_ERROR("Configuration error: %s", tt_error_string(ret));
+ return EXIT_FAILURE;
+ }
+
+ // 3. Initialize all subsystems
+ ret = initialize(&ctx);
+ if (ret != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ TT_LOG_ERROR("Initialization failed: %s", tt_error_string(ret));
+ goto cleanup;
+ }
+
+ // 4. Run main execution loop
+ ret = run(&ctx);
+ if (ret != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ TT_LOG_ERROR("Runtime error: %s", tt_error_string(ret));
+ }
+
+cleanup:
+ // 5. Cleanup resources
+ cleanup_context(&ctx);
+ return (ret == TT_SUCCESS) ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE;
+}
+```
+
+### Initialization Sequence
+
+```c
+static tt_error_t initialize(struct context *ctx)
+{
+ pid_t pid = getpid();
+
+ // 1. Setup signal handlers
+ if (setup_signal_handlers(ctx) != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ return TT_ERROR_SIGNAL;
+ }
+
+ // 2. Set CPU affinity (if configured)
+ if (ctx->config.cpu != -1) {
+ set_affinity(pid, ctx->config.cpu);
+ }
+
+ // 3. Set RT priority (if configured)
+ if (ctx->config.prio > 0 && ctx->config.prio <= 99) {
+ set_schedattr(pid, ctx->config.prio, SCHED_FIFO);
+ }
+
+ // 4. Calibrate BPF time offset
+ if (calibrate_bpf_time_offset() != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ return TT_ERROR_BPF;
+ }
+
+ // 5. Initialize TRPC and get schedule from timpani-o
+ if (init_trpc(ctx) != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ return TT_ERROR_NETWORK;
+ }
+
+ // 6. Initialize task list or Apex.OS monitor
+ if (!ctx->config.enable_apex) {

+ init_apex_list(ctx);
+ } else {
+ bpf_on(handle_sigwait_bpf_event, handle_schedstat_bpf_event, ctx);
+ init_task_list(ctx);
+ }
+ }
+
+ // 7. Initialize Apex.OS Monitor
+ apex_monitor_init(ctx);
+
+ return TT_SUCCESS;
+}
+```
+
+### Runtime Loop
+
+```c
+static tt_error_t run(struct context *ctx)
+{
+ // 1. Synchronize with timpani-o server
+ if (sync_timer_with_server(ctx) != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ return TT_ERROR_NETWORK;
+ }
+
+ // 2. Start task timers
+ if (start_timers(ctx) != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ return TT_ERROR_TIMER;
+ }
+
+ // 3. Start hyperperiod timer
+ if (start_hyperperiod_timer(ctx) != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ return TT_ERROR_TIMER;
+ }
+
+ // 4. Enter main event loop (epoll-based)
+ tt_error_t result = epoll_loop(ctx);
+
+ TT_LOG_INFO("Shutdown requested, cleaning up resources...");
+
+ return result;

+
+## Initialization Subsystems
+
+### 1. Signal Handlers (C: β
| Rust: βΈοΈ)
+```c
+// C implementation
+setup_signal_handlers(ctx);
+```
+- **Purpose:** Register handlers for SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGALRM
+- **Rust Status:** βΈοΈ Not implemented
+
+### 2. CPU Affinity (C: β
| Rust: βΈοΈ)
+```c
+// C implementation
+if (ctx->config.cpu != -1) {
+ set_affinity(getpid(), ctx->config.cpu);
+}
+```
+- **Purpose:** Bind process to specific CPU core
+- **Rust Status:** βΈοΈ Not implemented
+
+### 3. RT Priority (C: β
| Rust: βΈοΈ)
+```c
+// C implementation
+if (ctx->config.prio > 0) {
+ set_schedattr(getpid(), ctx->config.prio, SCHED_FIFO);
+}
+```
+- **Purpose:** Set real-time scheduling priority
+- **Rust Status:** βΈοΈ Not implemented
+
+### 4. BPF Calibration (C: β
| Rust: βΈοΈ)
+```c
+// C implementation
+calibrate_bpf_time_offset();
+```
+- **Purpose:** Sync userspace/kernel timestamps
+- **Rust Status:** βΈοΈ Not implemented
+
+### 5. TRPC Connection (C: β
| Rust: βΈοΈ)
+```c
+// C implementation
+init_trpc(ctx); // Connect to timpani-o via D-Bus
+```
+- **Purpose:** Establish connection to orchestrator
+- **Rust Status:** βΈοΈ Planned (will use gRPC, not D-Bus)
+
+### 6. Task List Init (C: β
| Rust: βΈοΈ)
+```c
+// C implementation
+bpf_on(...);
+init_task_list(ctx);
+```
+- **Purpose:** Load eBPF programs, initialize task list
+- **Rust Status:** βΈοΈ Not implemented
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling Flow
+
+### C Error Handling
+```c
+ret = initialize(&ctx);
+if (ret != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ TT_LOG_ERROR("Initialization failed: %s", tt_error_string(ret));
+ goto cleanup;
+}
+
+ret = run(&ctx);
+if (ret != TT_SUCCESS) {
+ TT_LOG_ERROR("Runtime error: %s", tt_error_string(ret));
+}
+
+cleanup:
+ cleanup_context(&ctx);
+ return (ret == TT_SUCCESS) ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE;
+```
+
+### Rust Error Handling
+```rust
+initialize(&mut ctx)?; // Early return on error
+
+run(&ctx).await.map_err(|e| {
+ error!("Runtime error: {}", e);
+ e
+})?;
+
+cleanup(&ctx)?;
+
+Ok(())
+```
+
+---
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### What Changed
+1. **Async Runtime:** Tokio `#[tokio::main]` for future gRPC support
+2. **Error Propagation:** `?` operator instead of goto cleanup
+3. **Logging:** `tracing` crate instead of custom macros
+4. **Config:** Clap-based CLI instead of getopt
+
+### What Will Stay the Same
+1. **Initialization Order:** Same subsystem dependencies
+2. **Three Phases:** Parse β Initialize β Run β Cleanup
+3. **Exit Codes:** SUCCESS=0, FAILURE=1
+
+### Still To Implement (βΈοΈ)
+- Signal handlers
+- CPU affinity setting
+- RT priority configuration
+- BPF initialization
+- TRPC/gRPC connection
+- Task list initialization
+- Timer synchronization
+- Main event loop

+```protobuf
+service NodeService {
+ // Pull assigned schedule from timpani-o
+ rpc GetSchedInfo (NodeSchedRequest) returns (NodeSchedResponse) {}
+
+ // Barrier synchronization across all nodes
+ rpc SyncTimer (SyncRequest) returns (SyncResponse) {}
+
+ // Report deadline miss to timpani-o
+ rpc ReportDMiss (DeadlineMissInfo) returns (NodeResponse) {}
+}
+```
+
+### NodeClient Structure
+
+```rust
+pub struct NodeClient {
+ stub: NodeServiceClient, // Tonic gRPC stub
+ dmiss_tx: mpsc::Sender<(String, String)>, // Non-blocking queue for dmiss
+}
+```
+
+### Connection with Retry
+
+```rust

+ addr: &str,
+ max_retries: u32,
+ cancel: CancellationToken,
+ ) -> TimpaniResult {
+ let endpoint = Endpoint::from_shared(addr.to_string())?

+ }
+ Err(e) => {
+ // Retry with 1s delay
+ tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ Err(TimpaniError::Network)
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### GetSchedInfo (Schedule Retrieval)
+
+```rust
+pub async fn get_sched_info(&mut self, node_id: &str) -> TimpaniResult {
+ self.stub
+ .get_sched_info(NodeSchedRequest {
+ node_id: node_id.to_string(),
+ })
+ .await
+ .map(|r| r.into_inner())
+ .map_err(|s| {
+ if s.code() == tonic::Code::NotFound {
+ TimpaniError::NotReady // No workload yet, caller should retry
+ } else {
+ TimpaniError::Network
+ }
+ })
+}
+```
+
+**Response Structure:**
+```rust
+struct NodeSchedResponse {
+ workload_id: String,
+ hyperperiod_us: u64,
+ tasks: Vec, // Filtered by node_id
+}
+
+struct ScheduledTask {
+ name: String,

+ runtime_us: i32,
+ release_time_us: i32,
+ cpu_affinity: u64,
+ max_dmiss: i32,
+}
+```
+
+### SyncTimer (Barrier Synchronization)
+
+```rust
+pub async fn sync_timer(&mut self, node_id: &str) -> TimpaniResult {
+ self.stub
+ .sync_timer(SyncRequest {
+ node_id: node_id.to_string(),
+ })
+ .await
+ .map(|r| r.into_inner())

+
+**Response Structure:**
+```rust
+struct SyncResponse {
+ ack: bool, // true = barrier released
+ start_time_sec: i64, // CLOCK_REALTIME seconds
+ start_time_nsec: i32, // Nanoseconds
+}
+```
+
+**Usage in `run_app()`:**
+```rust
+let sync_resp = client.sync_timer(&ctx.config.node_id).await?;
+if !sync_resp.ack {
+ return Err(TimpaniError::Network);
+}
+let sync_start = SyncStartTime {
+ sec: sync_resp.start_time_sec,
+ nsec: sync_resp.start_time_nsec,
+};
+```
+
+### ReportDMiss (Non-Blocking)
+
+```rust
+pub fn report_dmiss(&self, node_id: String, task_name: String) {
+ match self.dmiss_tx.try_send((node_id.clone(), task_name.clone())) {
+ Ok(()) => {},
+ Err(mpsc::error::TrySendError::Full(_)) => {
+ warn!("ReportDMiss queue full β dropping");
+ }
+ _ => {}
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Background Reporter Task:**
+```rust
+async fn run_dmiss_reporter(
+ mut stub: NodeServiceClient,
+ mut rx: mpsc::Receiver<(String, String)>,
+ cancel: CancellationToken,
+) {
+ loop {
+ tokio::select! {
+ Some((node_id, task_name)) = rx.recv() => {
+ let req = DeadlineMissInfo { node_id, task_name };
+ if let Err(e) = stub.report_d_miss(req).await {
+ error!("ReportDMiss failed: {}", e);
+ }
+ }
+ _ = cancel.cancelled() => break,
+ }
+ }

+
+## Key Design Improvements
+
+### 1. Non-Blocking Deadline Miss Reporting
+**C Implementation:** Blocking D-Bus call in RT loop
+```c
+tt_error_t report_deadline_miss(struct context *ctx, const char *taskname) {
+ return trpc_client_dmiss(ctx->runtime.dbus, ...); // BLOCKS
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Implementation:** Non-blocking queue (~10 ns)
+```rust
+pub fn report_dmiss(&self, node_id: String, task_name: String) {
+ self.dmiss_tx.try_send((node_id, task_name)); // Never blocks RT loop
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Server-Side Filtering
+**C:** timpani-o sends all tasks, each node filters by node_id
+**Rust:** timpani-o filters in `GetSchedInfo`, returns only relevant tasks
+
+### 3. Barrier Synchronization
+**C:** 100ms polling loop waiting for ack
+```c
+while (!ack) {
+ trpc_client_sync(dbus, node_id, &ack, &ts);
+ usleep(100000); // 100ms
+}
+```
+
+**Rust:** True barrier, server holds connection until all nodes ready
+```rust
+let sync_resp = client.sync_timer(&node_id).await; // Blocks until barrier releases
+```
+
+### 4. Cancellation Support
+**C:** No graceful cancellation during retries
+**Rust:** CancellationToken allows clean shutdown during connect/retry
+
+---
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### What Changed
+1. β
**D-Bus β gRPC:** Port 7777 β 50054
+2. β
**Custom serialization β Protobuf:** Type-safe schema
+3. β
**Blocking sync β Async barrier:** Server-coordinated release
+4. β
**Blocking dmiss β Non-blocking queue:** RT loop never waits
+5. β
**Manual retry β Built-in retry:** With cancellation support
+
+### What Stayed the Same
+1. Three RPCs: GetSchedInfo, SyncTimer, ReportDMiss
+2. Retry logic on NOT_FOUND (no workload yet)
+3. Single connection per node
+4. Synchronous start time across all nodes
+
+### Performance Impact
+- **Latency:** 6-37x reduction (D-Bus ~500ΞΌs β gRPC ~13-80ΞΌs)
+- **RT Loop:** No blocking on deadline miss reporting (queue depth: 64)
+- **Connection:** TCP keepalive + reconnect on failure

+## Overview
+
+This directory contains 10 Low-Level Design (LLD) documents for timpani-n (node executor) components. **Unlike timpani-o**, these documents are primarily **AS-IS focused** because the Rust implementation is still in early development (only initialization/configuration complete).

+
+**Component Type:** gRPC Service
+**Responsibility:** Receive and process workload schedules from Pullpiri orchestrator
+**Status:** β
Migrated (C++ β Rust)
+
+## Component Overview
+
+The SchedInfoService component acts as the entry point for workload submissions from the Pullpiri orchestrator. It receives scheduling requests via gRPC, validates them, processes them through the global scheduler, and returns success/failure responses.
+
+---
+
+## As-Is: C++ Implementation
+
+### Class Structure
+
+```cpp
+class SchedInfoServiceImpl : public SchedInfoService::Service {
+public:
+ explicit SchedInfoServiceImpl(std::shared_ptr node_config_manager);
+
+ Status AddSchedInfo(ServerContext* context,
+ const SchedInfo* request,
+ Response* reply) override;
+
+ SchedInfoMap GetSchedInfoMap() const;
+ const HyperperiodInfo* GetHyperperiodInfo(const std::string& workload_id) const;
+};
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (C++)
+
+1. **Receive** scheduling information from Piccolo via gRPC
+2. **Validate** scheduling requests
+3. **Process** scheduling information through GlobalScheduler
+4. **Manage** hyperperiod calculations
+5. **Return** appropriate responses
+
+### Key Features (C++)
+
+- **Thread Safety:** Uses shared mutexes for concurrent access
+- **Validation:** Comprehensive input validation and resource checking
+- **Error Handling:** Detailed error reporting with appropriate status codes
+- **Integration:** Seamless integration with GlobalScheduler and NodeConfigManager
+
+### Configuration (C++)
+
+- **Default Port:** 50052
+- **Protocol:** gRPC over HTTP/2
+- **Message Format:** Protocol Buffers (schedinfo.proto)
+
+---
+
+## Will-Be: Rust Implementation
+
+### Module Structure
+
+```rust
+// File: timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/grpc/schedinfo_service.rs
+
+#[derive(Clone)]
+pub struct SchedInfoServiceImpl {
+ scheduler: Arc,
+ workload_store: WorkloadStore,
+ fault_notifier: Arc,
+}
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (Rust)
+
+1. **Convert** proto `TaskInfo` list β internal `Vec`
+2. **Calculate** hyperperiod (LCM of all task periods)
+3. **Run** `GlobalScheduler` to assign tasks to nodes and CPUs
+4. **Acquire** `WorkloadStore` lock, cancel previous workload's sync barrier
+5. **Store** the new `WorkloadState`, release lock
+
+### Implementation (Rust)
+
+```rust
+#[tonic::async_trait]
+impl SchedInfoService for SchedInfoServiceImpl {
+ async fn add_sched_info(
+ &self,
+ request: Request,
+ ) -> Result, Status> {
+ // 1. Extract workload_id and tasks
+ let req = request.into_inner();
+ let workload_id = req.workload_id.clone();
+
+ // 2. Convert proto tasks to internal Task structs
+ let tasks: Vec = req.tasks.iter()
+ .map(|t| task_from_proto(t, &workload_id))
+ .collect();
+
+ // 3. Calculate hyperperiod using HyperperiodManager
+ let hyperperiod_info = HyperperiodManager::new()
+ .calculate_hyperperiod(&workload_id, &tasks)?;
+
+ // 4. Run GlobalScheduler to assign tasks to nodes
+ let assignments = self.scheduler.schedule(tasks)?;
+
+ // 5. Store workload state and cancel old barrier
+ // ...
+
+ Ok(Response::new(ProtoResponse { status: 0 }))
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Key Features (Rust)
+
+- **Async/Await:** Fully async implementation using Tokio
+- **Type Safety:** Compile-time type checking via Tonic + Protobuf
+- **Memory Safety:** No shared mutexes - uses Arc for shared ownership
+- **Error Handling:** Result<> types with structured errors
+- **Logging:** Structured logging via `tracing` crate
+
+### Configuration (Rust)
+
+- **Default Port:** 50052 (configurable via `--sinfoport` CLI arg)
+- **Protocol:** gRPC over HTTP/2
+- **Message Format:** Protocol Buffers (schedinfo.proto)
+
+---
+
+## As-Is vs Will-Be Comparison
+
+| Aspect | C++ (As-Is) | Rust (Will-Be) |
+|--------|-------------|----------------|
+| **Concurrency Model** | Shared mutexes, manual locking | Arc + async/await, lock-free where possible |
+| **Error Handling** | Status codes, exceptions | Result types, no exceptions |
+| **Memory Management** | `std::shared_ptr<>`, manual lifetime | Arc<>, compile-time borrow checking |
+| **Type Safety** | Runtime protobuf validation | Compile-time protobuf validation |
+| **Threading** | OS threads with mutexes | Tokio async runtime |
+| **State Management** | Shared mutable state | Immutable state with Arc, WorkloadStore |
+| **Logging** | `TLOG_DEBUG`, custom macros | `tracing` crate, structured logging |
+| **Dependency Injection** | Constructor injection | `Arc` injection |
+| **Function Signature** | `Status AddSchedInfo(...)` | `async fn add_sched_info(...) -> Result<>` |
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-SCHED-001: WorkloadStore Design
+
+**C++ Approach:**
+- SchedInfoServiceImpl maintains internal `SchedInfoMap`
+- Accessed via `GetSchedInfoMap()` method
+- Protected by shared mutexes
+
+**Rust Approach:**
+- Centralized `WorkloadStore` (Arc-wrapped)
+- Shared across SchedInfoService and NodeService
+- Enables coordinated barrier cancellation
+
+**Rationale:** In Rust, the barrier synchronization logic (SyncTimer) needs to be cancelled when a new workload arrives. This requires shared state between SchedInfoService and NodeService, hence WorkloadStore.
+
+---
+
+### D-SCHED-002: Async vs Sync RPC
+
+**C++ Approach:**
+- Synchronous gRPC handler
+- Blocking I/O
+
+**Rust Approach:**
+- Fully async using `#[tonic::async_trait]`
+- Non-blocking I/O via Tokio
+
+**Rationale:** Rust's Tokio runtime allows thousands of concurrent connections without OS thread overhead. The async model is more scalable and matches Tonic's design.
+
+---
+
+### D-SCHED-003: FaultNotifier Injection
+
+**C++ Implementation:**
+- FaultServiceClient is a singleton (`GetInstance()`)
+- Accessed globally
+
+**Rust Implementation:**
+```rust
+pub struct SchedInfoServiceImpl {
+ fault_notifier: Arc,
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale:** Dependency injection via trait objects (`dyn FaultNotifier`) allows:
+- Unit testing with mock notifiers
+- No global state
+- Clear ownership and lifetimes
+
+---
+

+## Proto Message Definitions
+
+### SchedInfo Message
+
+```protobuf
+message SchedInfo {
+ string workload_id = 1;
+ repeated TaskInfo tasks = 2;
+}
+
+message TaskInfo {
+ string name = 1;
+ int32 priority = 2;
+ int32 policy = 3;
+ uint64 cpu_affinity = 4;
+ int32 period = 5;
+ int32 release_time = 6;
+ int32 runtime = 7;
+ int32 deadline = 8;
+ string node_id = 9;
+ int32 max_dmiss = 10;
+}
+
+message Response {
+ int32 status = 1;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### C++ Error Handling
+
+```cpp
+Status AddSchedInfo(...) {
+ if (!ValidateInput()) {
+ return Status(StatusCode::INVALID_ARGUMENT, "Invalid task");
+ }
+ try {
+ ProcessSchedule();
+ return Status::OK;
+ } catch (const std::exception& e) {
+ return Status(StatusCode::INTERNAL, e.what());
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Rust Error Handling
+
+```rust
+async fn add_sched_info(...) -> Result, Status> {
+ // Validation via type system (proto parsing)
+ let tasks = req.tasks.iter()
+ .map(|t| task_from_proto(t, &workload_id))
+ .collect();
+
+ // Explicit Result propagation
+ let hyperperiod_info = match hp_mgr.calculate_hyperperiod(&workload_id, &tasks) {
+ Ok(info) => info,
+ Err(e) => {
+ error!("Hyperperiod calculation failed: {}", e);
+ return Ok(Response::new(ProtoResponse { status: -1 }));
+ }
+ };
+
+ // No exceptions - all errors are Result<>
+ Ok(Response::new(ProtoResponse { status: 0 }))
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Approach
+
+### C++ Testing
+
+- Manual integration tests
+- Limited unit test coverage
+- Requires running gRPC server
+
+### Rust Testing
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+ use super::*;
+
+ #[tokio::test]
+ async fn test_add_sched_info_success() {
+ let node_config = Arc::new(NodeConfigManager::default());
+ let store = new_workload_store();
+ let notifier = Arc::new(MockFaultNotifier::new());
+
+ let service = SchedInfoServiceImpl::new(node_config, store, notifier);
+
+ let request = Request::new(SchedInfo {
+ workload_id: "test_workload".to_string(),
+ tasks: vec![/* ... */],
+ });
+
+ let response = service.add_sched_info(request).await;
+ assert!(response.is_ok());
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Improvements:**
+- Unit tests using mock dependencies (`MockFaultNotifier`)
+- Tokio test runtime (`#[tokio::test]`)
+- No external server required
+
+---
+

+
+**Component Type:** gRPC Client
+**Responsibility:** Report fault events (deadline misses) to Pullpiri orchestrator
+**Status:** β
Migrated (C++ β Rust)
+
+## Component Overview
+
+The FaultService Client component is responsible for forwarding fault notifications (primarily deadline misses) from timpani-n nodes back to the Pullpiri orchestrator. It maintains a persistent gRPC connection and handles failures gracefully.
+
+---
+
+## As-Is: C++ Implementation
+
+### Class Structure
+
+```cpp
+class FaultServiceClient {
+public:
+ static FaultServiceClient& GetInstance();
+
+ bool Initialize(const std::string& server_address);
+ bool IsInitialized() const;
+ bool NotifyFault(const std::string& workload_id,
+ const std::string& node_id,
+ const std::string& task_name,
+ FaultType fault_type);
+private:
+ // Singleton - private constructor
+ FaultServiceClient() = default;
+};
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (C++)
+
+1. Maintain persistent gRPC connection to Piccolo
+2. Send fault notifications for deadline misses
+3. Handle connection failures and retries
+4. Aggregate fault information from multiple sources
+
+### Key Features (C++)
+
+- **Singleton Pattern:** Single instance per process (`GetInstance()`)
+- **Connection Management:** Automatic reconnection on failures
+- **Fault Types:** Support for various fault types (DMISS, etc.)
+- **Asynchronous Operation:** Non-blocking fault reporting
+
+### Configuration (C++)
+
+- **Target:** Piccolo FaultService (default: localhost:50053)
+- **Protocol:** gRPC over HTTP/2
+- **Retry Policy:** Exponential backoff with maximum attempts
+
+### Design Limitation (C++)
+
+The singleton pattern exists **only** to work around C-style static callbacks in `DBusServer::DMissCallback`, which cannot capture `this` pointer.
+
+---
+
+## Will-Be: Rust Implementation
+
+### Module Structure
+
+```rust
+// File: timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/fault/mod.rs
+
+/// Production gRPC client for Pullpiri's `FaultService`.
+pub struct FaultClient {
+ stub: ProtoFaultClient,
+}
+
+/// Async interface for sending fault notifications.
+#[tonic::async_trait]
+pub trait FaultNotifier: Send + Sync {
+ async fn notify_fault(&self, info: FaultNotification) -> Result<(), FaultError>;
+}
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (Rust)
+
+1. **Connect** lazily to Pullpiri FaultService
+2. **Send** fault notifications asynchronously
+3. **Handle** RPC errors with structured error types
+4. **Support** dependency injection via trait abstraction
+
+### Implementation (Rust)
+
+```rust
+impl FaultClient {
+ /// Create a fault client that connects lazily to `addr`.
+ ///
+ /// The TCP connection is not established until the first RPC call.
+ pub fn connect_lazy(addr: String) -> anyhow::Result> {
+ let channel = tonic::transport::Endpoint::from_shared(addr)?
+ .connect_lazy();
+ let stub = ProtoFaultClient::new(channel);
+ Ok(Arc::new(Self { stub }))
+ }
+}
+
+#[tonic::async_trait]
+impl FaultNotifier for FaultClient {
+ async fn notify_fault(&self, info: FaultNotification) -> Result<(), FaultError> {
+ let request = FaultInfo {
+ workload_id: info.workload_id.clone(),
+ node_id: info.node_id.clone(),
+ task_name: info.task_name.clone(),
+ fault_type: info.fault_type as i32,
+ };
+
+ let mut stub = self.stub.clone();
+ let response = stub.notify_fault(request).await?;
+
+ if response.into_inner().status != 0 {
+ return Err(FaultError::RemoteError(response.status));
+ }
+
+ Ok(())
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Key Features (Rust)
+
+- **Lazy Connection:** TCP connection established on first RPC call
+- **Trait Abstraction:** `FaultNotifier` trait enables testing with mocks
+- **No Singleton:** Injected as `Arc`
+- **Structured Errors:** `FaultError` enum with specific error variants
+- **Clone-able Stub:** Tonic clients are cheap to clone (shared channel)
+

+
+## As-Is vs Will-Be Comparison
+
+| Aspect | C++ (As-Is) | Rust (Will-Be) |
+|--------|-------------|----------------|
+| **Lifetime Management** | Singleton (global state) | Arc (injected) |
+| **Connection Strategy** | Eager (on Initialize) | Lazy (on first RPC) |
+| **Error Handling** | bool return + logging | Result<(), FaultError> with typed errors |
+| **Testing** | Hard to mock singleton | Easy - inject MockFaultNotifier |
+| **Thread Safety** | Mutex-protected singleton | Arc + Send + Sync trait bounds |
+| **Async Support** | Synchronous (blocking) | Fully async with Tokio |
+| **Dependency Injection** | Global instance | Constructor injection via Arc |
+| **Reason for Singleton** | C-style callbacks limitation | No callbacks - async closures |
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-FAULT-001: No Singleton Pattern
+
+**C++ Limitation:**
+```cpp
+// DBusServer has static C-style callback
+static void DMissCallback(const char* name, const char* task) {
+ // Cannot capture 'this' β must use singleton
+ FaultServiceClient::GetInstance().NotifyFault(...);
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Solution:**
+```rust
+// Async closure can capture state
+let fault_notifier = Arc::clone(&self.fault_notifier);
+tokio::spawn(async move {
+ fault_notifier.notify_fault(info).await.ok();
+});
+```
+
+**Rationale:** Rust async closures can capture `Arc` directly, eliminating the need for global singletons. This improves testability and reduces coupling.
+
+---
+
+### D-FAULT-002: Lazy vs Eager Connection
+
+**C++ Approach:**
+```cpp
+bool Initialize(const std::string& server_address) {
+ // Connect immediately - fails if Pullpiri not running
+ channel_ = grpc::CreateChannel(server_address, ...);
+ if (!channel_->WaitForConnected(...)) {
+ return false; // timpani-o won't start
+ }
+ return true;
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Approach:**
+```rust
+pub fn connect_lazy(addr: String) -> anyhow::Result> {
+ // Connection established on first RPC call
+ let channel = Endpoint::from_shared(addr)?.connect_lazy();
+ // timpani-o can start even if Pullpiri is down
+ Ok(Arc::new(FaultClient { stub: ProtoFaultClient::new(channel) }))
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale:** Lazy connection avoids hard startup ordering dependency. timpani-o can start before Pullpiri is running. The first fault notification will trigger connection establishment.
+
+---
+
+### D-FAULT-003: Trait-Based Abstraction
+
+**Interface:**
+```rust
+#[tonic::async_trait]
+pub trait FaultNotifier: Send + Sync {
+ async fn notify_fault(&self, info: FaultNotification) -> Result<(), FaultError>;
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+1. **Testing:** Inject `MockFaultNotifier` in unit tests
+2. **Flexibility:** Can swap implementations without changing consumers
+3. **Decoupling:** Consumers depend on trait, not concrete type
+
+**Example Mock:**
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod test_support {
+ pub struct MockFaultNotifier {
+ calls: Arc>>,
+ }
+
+ #[tonic::async_trait]
+ impl FaultNotifier for MockFaultNotifier {
+ async fn notify_fault(&self, info: FaultNotification) -> Result<(), FaultError> {
+ self.calls.lock().unwrap().push(info);
+ Ok(())
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### C++ Error Handling
+
+```cpp
+bool NotifyFault(...) {
+ try {
+ auto response = stub_->NotifyFault(context, request);
+ if (!response.ok()) {
+ LOG_ERROR("RPC failed: " << response.error_message());
+ return false;
+ }
+ if (response.value().status() != 0) {
+ LOG_ERROR("Pullpiri rejected fault");
+ return false;
+ }
+ return true;
+ } catch (const std::exception& e) {
+ LOG_ERROR("Exception: " << e.what());
+ return false;
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Rust Error Handling
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Error)]
+pub enum FaultError {
+ #[error("transport error: {0}")]
+ Transport(#[from] tonic::transport::Error),
+
+ #[error("RPC status: {0}")]
+ Rpc(#[from] tonic::Status),
+
+ #[error("Pullpiri returned non-zero status {0}")]
+ RemoteError(i32),
+}
+
+async fn notify_fault(&self, info: FaultNotification) -> Result<(), FaultError> {
+ let mut stub = self.stub.clone();
+ let response = stub.notify_fault(request).await?; // ? propagates errors
+
+ if response.into_inner().status != 0 {
+ return Err(FaultError::RemoteError(response.status));
+ }
+
+ Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+**Improvements:**
+- **Typed Errors:** Each error case has a distinct variant
+- **No Exceptions:** All errors are Result<> - no unwinding
+- **Error Context:** `#[from]` provides automatic conversion
+- **Propagation:** `?` operator for clean error propagation
+
+---
+
+## Data Structures
+
+### FaultNotification
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
+pub struct FaultNotification {
+ pub workload_id: String,
+ pub node_id: String,
+ pub task_name: String,
+ pub fault_type: FaultType,
+}
+```
+
+### FaultType (from Proto)
+
+```protobuf
+enum FaultType {
+ UNKNOWN = 0;
+ DMISS = 1; // Deadline miss
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage Example
+
+### C++ Usage
+
+```cpp
+// Singleton initialization at startup
+FaultServiceClient::GetInstance().Initialize("localhost:50053");
+
+// Later, in DBusServer callback:
+FaultServiceClient::GetInstance().NotifyFault(
+ workload_id, node_id, task_name, FaultType::DMISS
+);
+```
+
+### Rust Usage
+
+```rust
+// At startup - inject into services
+let fault_notifier = FaultClient::connect_lazy(
+ "http://localhost:50053".to_string()
+)?;
+
+// In NodeService::report_dmiss
+let info = FaultNotification {
+ workload_id,
+ node_id,
+ task_name,
+ fault_type: FaultType::Dmiss,
+};
+
+self.fault_notifier.notify_fault(info).await?;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### C++ Testing Challenges
+
+- Singleton makes unit testing difficult
+- Requires mock server or actual Pullpiri instance
+- Cannot inject test doubles
+
+### Rust Testing Advantages
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn test_fault_notification() {
+ let mock = Arc::new(MockFaultNotifier::new());
+
+ // Inject mock into service
+ let service = NodeServiceImpl::new(store, mock.clone(), timeout);
+
+ // Trigger fault
+ service.report_dmiss(request).await.unwrap();
+
+ // Verify mock received call
+ assert_eq!(mock.calls().len(), 1);
+ assert_eq!(mock.calls()[0].task_name, "task_0");
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+**None** - gRPC API contract remains identical:
+```protobuf
+service FaultService {
+ rpc NotifyFault (FaultInfo) returns (Response);
+}
+```
+
+### Implementation Changes
+
+1. **Singleton removed** β Arc injection
+2. **Eager connection** β Lazy connection
+3. **Blocking RPC** β Async RPC
+4. **bool return** β Result<(), FaultError>
+5. **Global state** β Dependency injection
+
+### Benefits
+
+- β
Unit testable without mock server
+- β
No hard startup ordering dependency
+- β
Better error reporting (typed errors)
+- β
No global mutable state
+- β
Async-friendly (no blocking)

+**Component Type:** Communication Server
+**Responsibility:** Serve scheduling information and coordinate synchronization with timpani-n nodes
+**Status:** β
Migrated (C++ D-Bus β Rust gRPC)
+
+## Component Overview
+
+This component provides the communication interface between timpani-o (global orchestrator) and timpani-n nodes (local schedulers). It handles three primary operations: serving schedules, coordinating synchronized starts, and receiving deadline miss reports.
+
+---
+
+## As-Is: C++ Implementation (D-Bus Server)
+
+### Class Structure
+
+```cpp
+class DBusServer {
+public:
+ explicit DBusServer(std::shared_ptr sched_info_service,
+ std::shared_ptr node_config_manager);
+
+ bool Initialize(int port = 7777);
+ void Run();
+ void Stop();
+
+ // Static callbacks for libtrpc
+ static struct trpc_msg* GetSchedInfoCallback(const struct trpc_msg* req);
+ static struct trpc_msg* SyncCallback(const struct trpc_msg* req);
+ static void DMissCallback(const struct trpc_msg* req);
+};
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (C++)
+
+1. **Listen** for incoming connections on TCP port 7777
+2. **Serve** scheduling information to timpani-n nodes (via `trpc_client_schedinfo`)
+3. **Coordinate** synchronization barrier for all nodes (via `trpc_client_sync`)
+4. **Receive** deadline miss reports (via `trpc_client_dmiss`)
+5. **Serialize** messages using custom binary format (libtrpc)
+
+### Key Features (C++)
+
+- **Protocol:** D-Bus peer-to-peer over TCP (custom libtrpc implementation)
+- **Port:** 7777 (default)
+- **Serialization:** Custom binary serialization (`serialize.c`)
+- **Callbacks:** C-style static callbacks due to libtrpc C API
+
+### Data Flow (C++)
+
+```
+timpani-n (libtrpc client)
+ β TCP connection to port 7777
+DBusServer::GetSchedInfoCallback()
+ β sched_info_service_->GetSchedInfoMap()
+ β Serialize schedinfo_t struct
+ β
+Return binary message to timpani-n
+```
+
+### Configuration (C++)
+
+```cpp
+class DBusServerConfig {
+ int port = 7777;
+ std::string bind_address = "0.0.0.0";
+ int max_connections = 10;
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Will-Be: Rust Implementation (NodeService)
+
+### Module Structure
+
+```rust
+// File: timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/grpc/node_service.rs
+
+#[derive(Clone)]
+pub struct NodeServiceImpl {
+ workload_store: WorkloadStore,
+ fault_notifier: Arc,
+ sync_timeout: Duration,
+}
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (Rust)
+
+1. **GetSchedInfo:** timpani-n pulls its task list via gRPC
+2. **SyncTimer:** Blocking barrier - all nodes synchronize start time
+3. **ReportDMiss:** Deadline miss forwarded to Pullpiri
+4. **Barrier Management:** Watch channel coordination for sync barrier
+
+### Protocol Change: D-Bus β gRPC
+
+| Operation | C++ (D-Bus/libtrpc) | Rust (gRPC) |
+|-----------|---------------------|-------------|
+| **Transport** | TCP with custom binary protocol | HTTP/2 with Protobuf |
+| **Port** | 7777 | 50054 (configurable via `--nodeport`) |
+| **API Contract** | C function pointers | Protobuf service definition |
+| **Serialization** | `serialize.c` custom format | Protocol Buffers (auto-generated) |
+| **Error Handling** | Return NULL or error codes | `Result, Status>` |

+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-DBUS-001: Why Replace D-Bus with gRPC?
+
+**C++ Limitations:**
+- **Custom Protocol:** `libtrpc` is project-specific binary protocol
+- **Limited Tooling:** No standard debugging tools (Wireshark, grpcurl)
+- **Manual Serialization:** Hand-written `serialize.c` code
+- **C API Constraints:** Static callbacks, no type safety
+
+**Rust Benefits:**
+- **Standard Protocol:** gRPC is industry-standard
+- **Auto-Generated Code:** Tonic generates client/server from `.proto`
+- **Better Debugging:** grpcurl, gRPC reflection, Wireshark dissectors
+- **Type Safety:** Protobuf types checked at compile time
+
+**Rationale:** gRPC provides better interoperability, tooling, and safety with no performance loss.
+
+---
+
+### D-DBUS-002: Barrier Synchronization Design
+
+**C++ Approach:**
+```cpp
+// SyncCallback blocks all nodes until all check in
+static struct trpc_msg* SyncCallback(const struct trpc_msg* req) {
+ std::unique_lock lock(barrier_mutex_);
+ synced_nodes_.insert(node_id);
+
+ if (synced_nodes_.size() == active_nodes_.size()) {
+ barrier_cv_.notify_all(); // Wake all waiting nodes
+ } else {
+ barrier_cv_.wait(lock); // Block this thread
+ }
+
+ return CreateSyncResponse();
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Approach:**
+```rust
+// SyncTimer uses Tokio watch channel for coordination
+// Phase 1: Register (under lock)
+let mut barrier_rx = {
+ let mut guard = self.workload_store.lock().await;
+ let ws = guard.as_mut()?;
+
+ let rx = ws.barrier_tx.subscribe(); // Subscribe BEFORE firing
+ ws.synced_nodes.insert(node_id);
+
+ if all_nodes_ready() {
+ ws.barrier_tx.send(Released { start_time... });
+ }
+ rx
+}; // Lock released here
+
+// Phase 2: Wait (NO lock held - async)
+loop {
+ match *barrier_rx.borrow_and_update() {
+ Released { start_time } => return Ok(...),
+ Cancelled => return Err(Status::aborted(...)),
+ TimedOut => return Err(Status::deadline_exceeded(...)),
+ Waiting => {}
+ }
+
+ tokio::select! {
+ _ = barrier_rx.changed() => {},
+ _ = timeout_sleep => { broadcast_timeout(); ... }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Differences:**
+- **Lock Duration:** C++ holds mutex during wait; Rust releases before async wait
+- **Broadcast:** C++ uses condition variable; Rust uses watch channel
+- **Timeout:** C++ per-thread timer; Rust first-to-timeout broadcasts to all
+- **Cancellation:** Rust supports workload cancellation (new feature)
+
+**Benefits:**
+- β
No lock contention during wait (Rust releases lock before async wait)
+- β
Handles workload replacement during sync (Cancelled state)
+- β
Configurable timeout (via `--sync-timeout-secs`)
+- β
All handlers wake simultaneously (watch channel broadcast)
+
+---
+
+### D-DBUS-003: C Callbacks vs Rust Async Traits
+
+**C++ Constraint:**
+```cpp
+// libtrpc requires static C-linkage callbacks
+extern "C" struct trpc_msg* GetSchedInfoCallback(const struct trpc_msg* req) {
+ // Cannot capture 'this' - must use global/singleton
+ auto* instance = DBusServer::GetInstance();
+ return instance->HandleGetSchedInfo(req);
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Solution:**
+```rust
+// Tonic generates async trait implementation
+#[tonic::async_trait]
+impl NodeService for NodeServiceImpl {
+ async fn get_sched_info(&self, request: Request<...>) -> Result<...> {
+ // 'self' is available, no global state needed
+ let guard = self.workload_store.lock().await;
+ // ...
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale:** Rust's trait system eliminates need for C callbacks and global state. Dependency injection (`self.workload_store`) provides testability.
+
+---
+
+## Proto Message Definitions
+
+### Service Definition
+
+```protobuf
+service NodeService {
+ rpc GetSchedInfo (NodeSchedRequest) returns (NodeSchedResponse);
+ rpc SyncTimer (SyncRequest) returns (SyncResponse);
+ rpc ReportDMiss (DeadlineMissInfo) returns (NodeResponse);
+}
+
+message NodeSchedRequest {
+ string node_id = 1;
+}
+
+message NodeSchedResponse {
+ string workload_id = 1;
+ uint64 hyperperiod_us = 2;
+ repeated ScheduledTask tasks = 3;
+}
+
+message SyncRequest {
+ string node_id = 1;
+}
+
+message SyncResponse {
+ bool ack = 1;
+ int64 start_time_sec = 2;
+ int32 start_time_nsec = 3;
+}
+
+message DeadlineMissInfo {
+ string workload_id = 1;
+ string node_id = 2;
+ string task_name = 3;
+}
+
+message NodeResponse {
+ int32 status = 1;
+ string error_message = 2;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Barrier State Machine
+
+### Rust BarrierStatus Enum
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
+pub enum BarrierStatus {
+ Waiting,
+ Released { start_time_sec: i64, start_time_nsec: i32 },
+ Cancelled,
+ TimedOut,
+}
+```
+
+### State Transitions
+
+```
+Initial: Waiting
+ β
+ βββ All nodes check in β Released (success)
+ βββ New workload arrives β Cancelled (abort)
+ βββ Timeout expires β TimedOut (failure)
+```
+
+### Timeout Handling
+
+```rust
+// First handler to timeout broadcasts to all others
+tokio::select! {
+ _ = barrier_rx.changed() => { /* Another handler fired */ }
+ _ = &mut timeout_sleep => {
+ // This handler timed out first - wake all others
+ let guard = self.workload_store.lock().await;
+ if let Some(ws) = guard.as_ref() {
+ let _ = ws.barrier_tx.send(BarrierStatus::TimedOut);
+ }
+ return Err(Status::deadline_exceeded("barrier timeout"));
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Default Timeout:** 30 seconds (configurable via `--sync-timeout-secs`)
+
+---
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+1. **Protocol Change:** D-Bus β gRPC (timpani-n must use gRPC client)
+2. **Port Change:** 7777 β 50054
+3. **Message Format:** Binary struct β Protobuf
+
+### Backwards Compatibility
+
+**None** - this is a breaking change. Requires:
+- timpani-n migration to gRPC client (Milestone 2)
+- Both components must be upgraded together
+
+### Migration Path
+
+1. Implement Rust timpani-o with gRPC NodeService
+2. Migrate timpani-n from libtrpc to Tonic gRPC client
+3. Deploy both simultaneously
+4. Decommission D-Bus server and libtrpc
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### C++ Testing Challenges
+
+- Requires running D-Bus server and libtrpc client
+- Hard to mock C callbacks
+- Manual message serialization testing
+
+### Rust Testing Advantages
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn test_get_sched_info_success() {
+ let store = new_workload_store();
+ let notifier = Arc::new(MockFaultNotifier::new());
+ let service = NodeServiceImpl::new(store.clone(), notifier, Duration::from_secs(30));
+
+ // Populate workload
+ {
+ let mut guard = store.lock().await;
+ *guard = Some(WorkloadState { ... });
+ }
+
+ // Call gRPC method
+ let request = Request::new(NodeSchedRequest {
+ node_id: "node01".to_string(),
+ });
+
+ let response = service.get_sched_info(request).await.unwrap();
+ assert_eq!(response.into_inner().tasks.len(), 3);
+}
+
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn test_sync_timer_barrier() {
+ // Spawn two concurrent SyncTimer calls
+ let (resp1, resp2) = tokio::join!(
+ service.sync_timer(node1_req),
+ service.sync_timer(node2_req),
+ );
+
+ // Both should succeed with same start time
+ assert_eq!(resp1.start_time_sec, resp2.start_time_sec);
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- No external server required
+- Concurrent barrier tests using `tokio::join!`
+- Mock fault notifier for isolation

+**Component Type:** Core Scheduling Logic
+**Responsibility:** Allocate tasks to nodes and CPUs using real-time scheduling algorithms
+**Status:** β
Migrated (C++ β Rust)
+
+## Component Overview
+
+The Global Scheduler component implements the core task allocation logic for timpani-o. It receives a set of real-time tasks and distributes them across available compute nodes and CPUs, ensuring schedulability constraints are met.
+
+---
+
+## As-Is: C++ Implementation
+
+### Class Structure
+
+```cpp
+class GlobalScheduler {
+public:
+ explicit GlobalScheduler(std::shared_ptr node_config_manager);
+
+ bool ProcessScheduleInfo(const SchedInfo& sched_info, NodeSchedMap& result);
+ bool SetAlgorithm(const std::string& algorithm_name);
+ void Clear();
+
+private:
+ bool ScheduleTargetNodePriority();
+ bool ScheduleLeastLoaded();
+ bool ScheduleBestFitDecreasing();
+
+ bool FindBestCPUForTask(Task& task, const std::string& node_id);
+
+ std::vector tasks_;
+ std::map> available_cpus_;
+ std::map> cpu_utilization_;
+};
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (C++)
+
+1. **Parse** and validate scheduling information
+2. **Allocate** tasks to nodes based on selected algorithm
+3. **Assign** CPUs to tasks on each node
+4. **Track** CPU utilization to prevent oversubscription
+5. **Validate** schedules against feasibility constraints
+
+### Scheduling Algorithms (C++)
+
+1. **Target Node Priority**
+ - Each task specifies a `target_node`
+ - Scheduler assigns to the requested node only
+ - Finds best available CPU on that node
+
+2. **Least Loaded**
+ - Assigns each task to the node with lowest total utilization
+ - Balances load across all nodes
+
+3. **Best Fit Decreasing**
+ - Sorts tasks by WCET (descending)
+ - Assigns each to the node with tightest fit
+
+### Key Features (C++)
+
+- **Utilization Threshold:** 90% max CPU utilization (hard-coded)
+- **State Management:** Mutable internal state cleared via `Clear()`
+- **Iteration Order:** `std::map` (sorted by key)
+- **Error Handling:** `bool` return values
+
+---
+
+## Will-Be: Rust Implementation
+
+### Module Structure
+
+```rust
+// File: timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/scheduler/mod.rs
+
+pub struct GlobalScheduler {
+ node_config_manager: Arc,
+}
+
+impl GlobalScheduler {
+ pub fn new(node_config_manager: Arc) -> Self {
+ Self { node_config_manager }
+ }
+
+ pub fn schedule(
+ &self,
+ mut tasks: Vec,
+ algorithm: &str,
+ ) -> Result {
+ // Per-call local state
+ let avail = self.build_available_cpus();
+ let mut util = Self::build_cpu_utilization(&avail);
+
+ // Algorithm dispatch
+ match algorithm {
+ "target_node_priority" => {
+ self.schedule_target_node_priority(&mut tasks, &avail, &mut util)?
+ }
+ "least_loaded" => {
+ self.schedule_least_loaded(&mut tasks, &avail, &mut util)?
+ }
+ "best_fit_decreasing" => {
+ self.schedule_best_fit_decreasing(&mut tasks, &avail, &mut util)?
+ }
+ other => return Err(SchedulerError::UnknownAlgorithm(other.to_string())),
+ }
+
+ // Post-schedule Liu & Layland check
+ self.run_liu_layland_check(&tasks);
+
+ // Build final schedule map
+ Ok(self.build_sched_map(tasks))
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (Rust)
+
+1. **Distribute** `Vec` across nodes using selected algorithm
+2. **Assign** specific CPU to each task (populate `assigned_cpu`)
+3. **Track** per-CPU utilization with `BTreeMap>`
+4. **Validate** against 90% threshold during assignment
+5. **Check** Liu & Layland bound post-scheduling (warning only)
+
+### Scheduling Algorithms (Rust)
+
+Same three algorithms as C++, with identical logic:
+
+```rust
+fn schedule_target_node_priority(...) -> Result<(), SchedulerError> {
+ for task in tasks {
+ let node = &task.target_node;
+ let cpu = find_best_cpu_for_task(task, node, avail, util)?;
+ task.assigned_node = node.clone();
+ task.assigned_cpu = Some(cpu);
+ update_utilization(node, cpu, task, util);
+ }
+ Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### Key Features (Rust)
+
+- **Stateless Design:** All per-run state (`avail`, `util`) is local to `schedule()` call
+- **Type Safety:** `Result` with structured errors
+- **Deterministic Order:** `BTreeMap` ensures alphabetical node iteration (automotive requirement)
+- **Liu & Layland Validation:** Computes theoretical schedulability bound, logs warning if exceeded
+- **No Mutable State:** `&self` is immutable, all mutation happens on local variables
+
+---
+
+## As-Is vs Will-Be Comparison
+
+| Aspect | C++ (As-Is) | Rust (Will-Be) |
+|--------|-------------|----------------|
+| **State Management** | Mutable fields, explicit `Clear()` | Stateless - all state local to `schedule()` |
+| **Map Type** | `std::map<>` (sorted) | `BTreeMap<>` (sorted + deterministic) |
+| **Error Handling** | `bool` return + silent `continue` | `Result` with typed variants |
+| **CPU Model (Alg 2&3)** | Dequeue CPUs from list | Utilization tracking for all algorithms |
+| **Feasibility Check** | 90% hard-coded threshold | 90% threshold + Liu & Layland bound warning |
+| **Thread Safety** | Mutable shared state | `Send + Sync` - no interior mutability |
+| **Function Signature** | `bool ProcessScheduleInfo(const SchedInfo&, NodeSchedMap&)` | `fn schedule(&self, Vec, &str) -> Result` |
+| **Iteration Order** | Sorted but platform-dependent | Always deterministic (BTreeMap) |
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-SCHED-001: Stateless vs Stateful
+
+**C++ Approach:**
+```cpp
+class GlobalScheduler {
+ std::vector tasks_; // Mutable state
+ std::map<...> available_cpus_; // Mutable state
+ std::map<...> cpu_utilization_; // Mutable state
+
+public:
+ bool ProcessScheduleInfo(...) {
+ Clear(); // Must clear previous state
+ // Use instance fields
+ }
+ void Clear() {
+ tasks_.clear();
+ available_cpus_.clear();
+ cpu_utilization_.clear();
+ }
+};
+```
+
+**Rust Approach:**
+```rust
+pub struct GlobalScheduler {
+ node_config_manager: Arc, // Read-only
+}
+
+impl GlobalScheduler {
+ pub fn schedule(&self, mut tasks: Vec, algorithm: &str)
+ -> Result
+ {
+ // All state is local - allocated and dropped per call
+ let avail = self.build_available_cpus();
+ let mut util = Self::build_cpu_utilization(&avail);
+
+ // ...
+
+ Ok(self.build_sched_map(tasks))
+ } // avail, util dropped here
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- **Thread Safety:** Rust `&self` is immutable, no risk of concurrent modification
+- **No Clear() Needed:** State automatically dropped at end of call
+- **Testability:** Multiple concurrent `schedule()` calls don't interfere
+- **Memory Safety:** Compiler guarantees no dangling references
+
+---
+
+### D-SCHED-002: BTreeMap vs HashMap
+
+**C++ Implementation:**
+```cpp
+std::map available_cpus_; // Sorted by key
+```
+
+**Rust Implementation:**
+```rust
+type AvailCpus = BTreeMap>; // Sorted by key
+type CpuUtil = BTreeMap>; // Two-level sorted
+```
+
+**Why Not HashMap?**
+- **Determinism:** For automotive systems, same input must always produce same output
+- **BTreeMap guarantees:** Alphabetical iteration order (node names)
+- **Debugging:** Consistent order in logs/traces
+
+**Quote from Code:**
+```rust
+/// `BTreeMap` (not `HashMap`) so iteration order is always alphabetical by
+/// node name β required for deterministic scheduling.
+```
+
+---
+
+### D-SCHED-003: Liu & Layland Feasibility Check
+
+**Theory:**
+Under Rate Monotonic scheduling, a task set of `n` tasks is **guaranteed** schedulable if:
+
+$$U = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{C_i}{T_i} \leq n \left(2^{1/n} - 1\right)$$
+
+**Bound Values:**
+| n | Bound |
+|---|-------|
+| 1 | 1.000 |
+| 2 | 0.828 |
+| 3 | 0.780 |
+| 5 | 0.743 |
+| β | ln(2) β 0.693 |
+
+**C++ Implementation:**
+- 90% threshold hard-coded
+- No Liu & Layland check
+
+**Rust Implementation:**
+```rust
+pub fn liu_layland_bound(n: usize) -> f64 {
+ if n == 0 { return 0.0; }
+ let nf = n as f64;
+ nf * (2.0_f64.powf(1.0 / nf) - 1.0)
+}
+
+pub fn check_liu_layland(tasks_on_node: &[&Task]) -> Option {
+ let total_u: f64 = tasks.iter()
+ .map(|t| t.runtime_us as f64 / t.period_us as f64)
+ .sum();
+
+ let bound = liu_layland_bound(tasks.len());
+
+ if total_u > bound {
+ Some(total_u) // Warning - may not be schedulable
+ } else {
+ None // Provably schedulable
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Current Status:**
+- Liu & Layland check is **implemented and logged**
+- Schedule is **not rejected** if bound exceeded (warning only)
+- 90% threshold remains the hard gate during assignment
+
+**Future Intent:**
+Use L&L bound to set `CPU_UTILIZATION_THRESHOLD` dynamically per node based on task count, instead of fixed 90%.
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### C++ Error Handling
+
+```cpp
+bool ProcessScheduleInfo(...) {
+ if (tasks_.empty()) {
+ LOG_ERROR("No tasks to schedule");
+ return false;
+ }
+ if (!config_->IsLoaded()) {
+ return false;
+ }
+ for (auto& task : tasks_) {
+ if (!FindBestCPUForTask(task, task.target_node)) {
+ continue; // Silent failure - skip task
+ }
+ }
+ return true;
+}
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- `bool` return doesn't explain what failed
+- `continue` silently skips unschedulable tasks
+- Caller cannot distinguish "no tasks" vs "config not loaded" vs "task rejected"
+
+### Rust Error Handling
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Error)]
+pub enum SchedulerError {
+ #[error("no tasks to schedule")]
+ NoTasks,
+
+ #[error("node configuration is not loaded")]
+ ConfigNotLoaded,
+
+ #[error("unknown scheduling algorithm: {0}")]
+ UnknownAlgorithm(String),
+
+ #[error("task {task} rejected: {reason}")]
+ TaskRejected {
+ task: String,
+ reason: AdmissionReason,
+ },
+}
+
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]
+pub enum AdmissionReason {
+ NoTargetNode,
+ NodeNotFound(String),
+ NoCpuAvailable,
+ CpuUtilizationExceeded { cpu_id: u32, utilization: u64 },
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Specific Errors:** Each failure case has a distinct variant
+- **Context:** `TaskRejected` includes task name and reason
+- **Fail-Fast:** First rejected task aborts the entire schedule (no silent continues)
+- **Testability:** Error variants can be pattern-matched in tests
+
+---
+
+## Scheduling Algorithm Details
+
+### 1. Target Node Priority
+
+**Use Case:** Tasks have strict node placement requirements (e.g., sensor tasks must run on sensor node)
+
+**C++ Logic:**
+```cpp
+for (auto& task : tasks_) {
+ if (!FindBestCPUForTask(task, task.target_node)) {
+ continue; // Skip
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Logic:**
+```rust
+for task in tasks.iter_mut() {
+ if task.target_node.is_empty() {
+ return Err(SchedulerError::TaskRejected {
+ task: task.name.clone(),
+ reason: AdmissionReason::NoTargetNode,
+ });
+ }
+ let cpu = find_best_cpu_for_task(task, &task.target_node, avail, util)?;
+ task.assigned_node = task.target_node.clone();
+ task.assigned_cpu = Some(cpu);
+}
+```
+
+**Key Difference:** Rust fails immediately if task has no target node; C++ silently skips it.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Least Loaded
+
+**Use Case:** Maximize resource availability by balancing load
+
+**Algorithm:**
+1. For each task, calculate current total utilization of each node
+2. Assign task to node with lowest utilization
+3. Find best CPU on that node
+
+**Implementation:**
+```rust
+fn schedule_least_loaded(...) -> Result<(), SchedulerError> {
+ for task in tasks.iter_mut() {
+ // Find node with lowest total utilization
+ let node = find_least_loaded_node(&util)?;
+ let cpu = find_best_cpu_for_task(task, &node, avail, util)?;
+
+ task.assigned_node = node.clone();
+ task.assigned_cpu = Some(cpu);
+ update_utilization(&node, cpu, task, util);
+ }
+ Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. Best Fit Decreasing
+
+**Use Case:** Bin-packing optimization for maximum utilization
+
+**Algorithm:**
+1. Sort tasks by WCET (descending)
+2. For each task, find node that will have highest utilization **after** assignment, without exceeding 1.0
+3. This creates tightest packing, leaving other nodes with more headroom
+
+**Implementation:**
+```rust
+fn schedule_best_fit_decreasing(...) -> Result<(), SchedulerError> {
+ // Sort by runtime (descending)
+ tasks.sort_by(|a, b| b.runtime_us.cmp(&a.runtime_us));
+
+ for task in tasks.iter_mut() {
+ let node = find_best_fit_node_for_task(task, avail, util)?;
+ let cpu = find_best_cpu_for_task(task, &node, avail, util)?;
+
+ task.assigned_node = node.clone();
+ task.assigned_cpu = Some(cpu);
+ update_utilization(&node, cpu, task, util);
+ }
+ Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## CPU Assignment Logic
+
+### find_best_cpu_for_task()
+
+**Input:**
+- `task`: Task to assign
+- `node_id`: Target node
+- `avail`: Available CPUs per node
+- `util`: Current utilization per CPU
+
+**Logic:**
+```rust
+fn find_best_cpu_for_task(...) -> Result {
+ let task_util = task.runtime_us as f64 / task.period_us as f64;
+
+ // Get CPUs available on this node
+ let node_cpus = avail.get(node_id)
+ .ok_or_else(|| SchedulerError::NodeNotFound(node_id.clone()))?;
+
+ // Filter by affinity constraint
+ let allowed: Vec = node_cpus.iter()
+ .filter(|&&cpu| task.affinity.allows_cpu(cpu))
+ .copied()
+ .collect();
+
+ if allowed.is_empty() {
+ return Err(SchedulerError::NoCpuAvailable);
+ }
+
+ // Find CPU with lowest current utilization
+ let best_cpu = allowed.iter()
+ .min_by(|a, b| {
+ let u_a = util[node_id].get(a).unwrap_or(&0.0);
+ let u_b = util[node_id].get(b).unwrap_or(&0.0);
+ u_a.partial_cmp(u_b).unwrap()
+ })
+ .copied()
+ .unwrap();
+
+ // Check 90% threshold
+ let new_util = util[node_id].get(&best_cpu).unwrap_or(&0.0) + task_util;
+ if new_util > CPU_UTILIZATION_THRESHOLD {
+ return Err(SchedulerError::CpuUtilizationExceeded {
+ cpu_id: best_cpu,
+ utilization: (new_util * 100.0) as u64,
+ });
+ }
+
+ Ok(best_cpu)
+}
+```
+
+**Constant:**
+```rust
+const CPU_UTILIZATION_THRESHOLD: f64 = 0.90; // 90%
+```
+
+---
+
+## Data Structures
+
+### NodeSchedMap
+
+**Type Alias:**
+```rust
+pub type NodeSchedMap = HashMap>;
+```
+
+**Purpose:** Final output of scheduler - maps `node_id` β list of tasks assigned to that node
+
+**Example:**
+```rust
+{
+ "node01": [
+ SchedTask { name: "sensor_fusion", assigned_cpu: 2, ... },
+ SchedTask { name: "lidar_proc", assigned_cpu: 3, ... },
+ ],
+ "node02": [
+ SchedTask { name: "path_planning", assigned_cpu: 1, ... },
+ ],
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### C++ Testing
+
+```cpp
+TEST_F(GlobalSchedulerTest, TargetNodePriority) {
+ GlobalScheduler scheduler(node_config);
+
+ SchedInfo info;
+ // ... populate info
+
+ NodeSchedMap result;
+ bool success = scheduler.ProcessScheduleInfo(info, result);
+
+ EXPECT_TRUE(success);
+ EXPECT_EQ(result.size(), 2);
+}
+```
+
+**Limitations:**
+- `bool` return doesn't explain failures
+- Hard to test error cases
+- Requires clearing state between tests
+
+### Rust Testing
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn test_target_node_priority_success() {
+ let config = Arc::new(NodeConfigManager::default());
+ let scheduler = GlobalScheduler::new(config);
+
+ let tasks = vec![
+ Task {
+ name: "task_a".into(),
+ target_node: "node01".into(),
+ period_us: 10_000,
+ runtime_us: 2_000,
+ ..Default::default()
+ },
+ ];
+
+ let result = scheduler.schedule(tasks, "target_node_priority");
+
+ assert!(result.is_ok());
+ let map = result.unwrap();
+ assert_eq!(map.len(), 1);
+ assert!(map.contains_key("node01"));
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn test_task_rejection_no_target_node() {
+ let config = Arc::new(NodeConfigManager::default());
+ let scheduler = GlobalScheduler::new(config);
+
+ let tasks = vec![
+ Task {
+ name: "task_missing_target".into(),
+ target_node: String::new(), // Missing!
+ ..Default::default()
+ },
+ ];
+
+ let result = scheduler.schedule(tasks, "target_node_priority");
+
+ assert!(matches!(
+ result,
+ Err(SchedulerError::TaskRejected {
+ reason: AdmissionReason::NoTargetNode,
+ ..
+ })
+ ));
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Pattern matching on error types
+- No state cleanup needed (stateless)
+- Can test concurrently (no shared state)
+

+## Migration Notes
+
+### What Changed
+
+1. **State Management:** Stateful β Stateless
+2. **Error Handling:** `bool` β `Result`
+3. **Feasibility:** Added Liu & Layland theoretical bound check

+**Component Type:** Mathematical Utility
+**Responsibility:** Calculate Least Common Multiple (LCM) of task periods for hyperperiod determination
+**Status:** β
Migrated (C++ β Rust)
+
+## Component Overview
+
+The Hyperperiod Manager calculates the hyperperiod for a set of periodic tasks. The hyperperiod is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of all task periods, representing the smallest time window after which the entire task set repeats its execution pattern.
+
+---
+
+## As-Is: C++ Implementation
+
+### Class Structure
+
+```cpp
+class HyperperiodManager {
+public:
+ HyperperiodManager();
+
+ uint64_t CalculateHyperperiod(const std::string& workload_id,
+ const std::vector& tasks);
+
+ const HyperperiodInfo* GetHyperperiodInfo(const std::string& workload_id) const;
+
+private:
+ uint64_t CalculateLCM(uint64_t a, uint64_t b);
+ uint64_t CalculateGCD(uint64_t a, uint64_t b);
+
+ std::map hyperperiod_map_;
+};
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (C++)
+
+1. **Calculate** LCM of all task periods
+2. **Store** hyperperiod information per workload
+3. **Validate** against sanity thresholds (1 hour warning)
+4. **Track** unique periods and task counts
+
+### Key Features (C++)
+
+- **Algorithm:** Euclidean GCD + LCM formula `lcm(a,b) = (a Γ b) / gcd(a,b)`
+- **Sanity Check:** Logs warning if hyperperiod > 1 hour (3,600,000,000 Β΅s)
+- **Storage:** Maintains internal map of workload β HyperperiodInfo
+- **Return Value:** `0` for both "no tasks" and "overflow" (ambiguous)
+
+### Design Issues (C++)
+
+| Issue | Impact |
+|-------|--------|
+| `CalculateHyperperiod` returns `0` for "no tasks" and "overflow" | Caller cannot distinguish failures |
+| `(a / gcd) * b` can overflow silently | Incorrect results without detection |
+| Warning-only sanity check | Scheduler proceeds with multi-hour hyperperiod |
+| Copies entire vector for filtering | Performance overhead |
+
+---
+
+## Will-Be: Rust Implementation
+
+### Module Structure
+
+```rust
+// File: timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/hyperperiod/mod.rs
+
+pub struct HyperperiodManager {
+ limit_us: u64,
+ history: HashMap,
+}
+
+impl HyperperiodManager {
+ pub fn new() -> Self {
+ Self {
+ limit_us: DEFAULT_HYPERPERIOD_LIMIT_US,
+ history: HashMap::new(),
+ }
+ }
+
+ pub fn with_limit(limit_us: u64) -> Self {
+ Self {
+ limit_us,
+ history: HashMap::new(),
+ }
+ }
+
+ pub fn calculate_hyperperiod(
+ &mut self,
+ workload_id: &str,
+ tasks: &[Task],
+ ) -> Result<&HyperperiodInfo, HyperperiodError> {
+ // Extract unique non-zero periods
+ let unique_periods = extract_unique_periods(tasks);
+
+ if unique_periods.is_empty() {
+ return Err(HyperperiodError::NoValidPeriods);
+ }
+
+ // Calculate LCM with overflow detection
+ let hyperperiod_us = lcm_of_slice(&unique_periods)?;
+
+ // Check limit
+ if hyperperiod_us > self.limit_us {
+ return Err(HyperperiodError::TooLarge {
+ value_us: hyperperiod_us,
+ limit_us: self.limit_us,
+ });
+ }
+
+ // Store and return
+ let info = HyperperiodInfo {
+ workload_id: workload_id.to_owned(),
+ hyperperiod_us,
+ unique_periods: unique_periods.clone(),
+ task_count: tasks.len(),
+ };
+
+ self.history.insert(workload_id.to_owned(), info);
+ Ok(self.history.get(workload_id).unwrap())
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (Rust)
+
+1. **Extract** unique non-zero periods from `&[Task]` (zero-copy iterator)
+2. **Calculate** LCM using checked multiplication (overflow detection)
+3. **Validate** against configurable limit (default 1 hour)
+4. **Return** `Result<&HyperperiodInfo, HyperperiodError>` with specific error variants
+5. **Cache** results in internal `HashMap`
+
+### Key Features (Rust)
+
+- **Overflow Detection:** `checked_mul()` returns `Err(Overflow { a, b })`
+- **Configurable Limit:** `with_limit()` constructor for custom thresholds
+- **Zero-Copy:** `&[Task]` borrow + `filter` iterator (no vector copies)
+- **Structured Errors:** Each failure case is a distinct enum variant
+- **Type Safety:** Cannot misuse `0` as valid result
+
+---
+
+## As-Is vs Will-Be Comparison
+
+| Aspect | C++ (As-Is) | Rust (Will-Be) |
+|--------|-------------|----------------|
+| **Error Handling** | `0` for both "no tasks" and "overflow" | `Result` with distinct variants |
+| **Overflow Detection** | Silent overflow in `(a / gcd) * b` | `checked_mul` β `Err(Overflow { a, b })` |
+| **Sanity Check** | Warning only (proceeds anyway) | `Err(TooLarge)` - caller decides |
+| **Period Extraction** | Copy vector + filter | Zero-copy `&[Task]` + iterator |
+| **Limit Configuration** | Hard-coded 1 hour | Configurable via `with_limit()` |
+| **Failure Context** | No information in return value | Error variants include operands/limits |
+| **Return Type** | `uint64_t` (0 = error) | `Result<&HyperperiodInfo, E>` |
+| **Memory Management** | `std::map` with copying | `HashMap` with owned values |
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-HP-001: Result Type Instead of Sentinel Value
+
+**C++ Approach:**
+```cpp
+uint64_t CalculateHyperperiod(...) {
+ if (unique_periods.empty()) {
+ return 0; // No tasks
+ }
+ uint64_t lcm = CalculateLCM(...);
+ if (lcm == 0) {
+ return 0; // Overflow occurred
+ }
+ if (lcm > LIMIT) {
+ LOG_WARNING("Hyperperiod too large");
+ // Return anyway - just a warning
+ }
+ return lcm;
+}
+```
+
+**Issue:** Caller sees `0` and cannot distinguish:
+- No valid periods?
+- Overflow during LCM?
+- Actual hyperperiod of 0 Β΅s (impossible but type allows it)?
+
+**Rust Approach:**
+```rust
+pub enum HyperperiodError {
+ NoValidPeriods,
+ Overflow { a: u64, b: u64 },
+ TooLarge { value_us: u64, limit_us: u64 },
+}
+
+pub fn calculate_hyperperiod(...) -> Result<&HyperperiodInfo, HyperperiodError> {
+ if unique_periods.is_empty() {
+ return Err(HyperperiodError::NoValidPeriods);
+ }
+
+ let hp = lcm_of_slice(&unique_periods)?; // Propagates Overflow
+
+ if hp > self.limit_us {
+ return Err(HyperperiodError::TooLarge {
+ value_us: hp,
+ limit_us: self.limit_us,
+ });
+ }
+
+ Ok(info)
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Clear Failures:** Each error case has distinct variant
+- **Actionable Context:** Error includes operands that overflowed, or actual/limit values
+- **Type Safety:** Cannot accidentally treat error as valid hyperperiod
+
+---
+
+### D-HP-002: Checked Arithmetic for Overflow
+
+**C++ LCM Calculation:**
+```cpp
+uint64_t CalculateLCM(uint64_t a, uint64_t b) {
+ if (a == 0 || b == 0) return 0;
+
+ uint64_t gcd = CalculateGCD(a, b);
+ // This can overflow silently!
+ return (a / gcd) * b;
+}
+```
+
+**Problem:** If `(a / gcd) * b` exceeds `UINT64_MAX`, result wraps around silently.
+
+**Rust LCM Calculation:**
+```rust
+pub fn lcm(a: u64, b: u64) -> Result {
+ if a == 0 || b == 0 {
+ return Ok(0);
+ }
+
+ let g = gcd(a, b);
+ let quotient = a / g;
+
+ // checked_mul returns None on overflow
+ quotient.checked_mul(b).ok_or_else(|| {
+ HyperperiodError::Overflow { a, b }
+ })
+}
+
+pub fn lcm_of_slice(periods: &[u64]) -> Result {
+ periods.iter().try_fold(1u64, |acc, &p| lcm(acc, p))
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Explicit Detection:** `checked_mul()` returns `None` on overflow
+- **Error Context:** Includes `a` and `b` that caused overflow
+- **Safe Propagation:** `?` operator propagates errors up the call chain
+
+---
+
+### D-HP-003: Zero-Copy Period Extraction
+
+**C++ Approach:**
+```cpp
+std::vector unique_periods;
+for (const auto& task : tasks) {
+ if (task.period_us > 0 &&
+ std::find(unique_periods.begin(), unique_periods.end(), task.period_us) == unique_periods.end()) {
+ unique_periods.push_back(task.period_us);
+ }
+}
+// Entire filtered vector is created - O(n) memory
+```
+
+**Rust Approach:**
+```rust
+fn extract_unique_periods(tasks: &[Task]) -> Vec {
+ let mut periods: Vec = tasks
+ .iter() // Iterator - no copy
+ .map(|t| t.period_us)
+ .filter(|&p| p > 0)
+ .collect(); // Only allocate final result
+
+ periods.sort_unstable();
+ periods.dedup();
+ periods
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Zero-Copy:** `tasks` is borrowed (`&[Task]`), not moved
+- **Lazy Evaluation:** `iter().map().filter()` chains without intermediate allocations
+- **Single Allocation:** Only `collect()` allocates memory for final result
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Error Enum
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
+pub enum HyperperiodError {
+ /// The task slice was empty (or all tasks had `period_us == 0`).
+ NoValidPeriods,
+
+ /// LCM calculation overflowed `u64`.
+ Overflow { a: u64, b: u64 },
+
+ /// The calculated hyperperiod exceeded the configured limit.
+ TooLarge { value_us: u64, limit_us: u64 },
+}
+
+impl std::fmt::Display for HyperperiodError {
+ fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
+ match self {
+ HyperperiodError::NoValidPeriods => {
+ write!(f, "no tasks with a valid (non-zero) period")
+ }
+ HyperperiodError::Overflow { a, b } => {
+ write!(f, "LCM overflow computing lcm({a}, {b})")
+ }
+ HyperperiodError::TooLarge { value_us, limit_us } => write!(
+ f,
+ "hyperperiod {value_us}Β΅s ({:.1}s) exceeds limit {limit_us}Β΅s ({:.1}s)",
+ *value_us as f64 / 1_000_000.0,
+ *limit_us as f64 / 1_000_000.0
+ ),
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Error Display Examples
+
+```
+no tasks with a valid (non-zero) period
+
+LCM overflow computing lcm(18446744073709551615, 2)
+
+hyperperiod 7200000000Β΅s (7200.0s) exceeds limit 3600000000Β΅s (3600.0s)
+```
+
+---
+
+## HyperperiodInfo Structure
+
+### C++ Structure
+
+```cpp
+struct HyperperiodInfo {
+ std::string workload_id;
+ uint64_t hyperperiod_us;
+ std::vector unique_periods;
+ size_t task_count;
+};
+```
+
+### Rust Structure
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
+pub struct HyperperiodInfo {
+ pub workload_id: String,
+ pub hyperperiod_us: u64,
+ pub unique_periods: Vec,
+ pub task_count: usize,
+}
+```
+
+**Identical fields** - direct translation.
+
+---
+
+## Algorithm: Euclidean GCD
+
+### Implementation (Rust)
+
+```rust
+/// Euclidean algorithm for Greatest Common Divisor.
+pub fn gcd(mut a: u64, mut b: u64) -> u64 {
+ while b != 0 {
+ let temp = b;
+ b = a % b;
+ a = temp;
+ }
+ a
+}
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```
+gcd(48, 18)
+ β 48 % 18 = 12
+ β 18 % 12 = 6
+ β 12 % 6 = 0
+ β gcd = 6
+```
+
+---
+
+## Algorithm: LCM Formula
+
+### Formula
+
+$$\text{lcm}(a, b) = \frac{a \times b}{\gcd(a, b)} = \left(\frac{a}{\gcd(a, b)}\right) \times b$$
+
+**Why divide first?**
+- Reduces magnitude before multiplication
+- Minimizes overflow risk
+- `(a / gcd) < a` always
+
+### Implementation (Rust)
+
+```rust
+pub fn lcm(a: u64, b: u64) -> Result {
+ if a == 0 || b == 0 {
+ return Ok(0);
+ }
+
+ let g = gcd(a, b);
+ let quotient = a / g;
+
+ quotient.checked_mul(b).ok_or_else(|| {
+ HyperperiodError::Overflow { a, b }
+ })
+}
+```
+
+### Multi-Value LCM
+
+```rust
+pub fn lcm_of_slice(periods: &[u64]) -> Result {
+ periods.iter().try_fold(1u64, |acc, &p| lcm(acc, p))
+}
+```
+
+**Explanation:**
+- Start with `acc = 1`
+- For each period `p`: compute `acc = lcm(acc, p)`
+- `try_fold` short-circuits on first error
+- Final `acc` is LCM of all periods
+
+**Example:**
+```rust
+periods = [10, 20, 30]
+ acc = 1
+ acc = lcm(1, 10) = 10
+ acc = lcm(10, 20) = 20
+ acc = lcm(20, 30) = 60 β hyperperiod
+```
+
+---
+
+## Limits and Thresholds
+
+### Default Limit
+
+```rust
+pub const DEFAULT_HYPERPERIOD_LIMIT_US: u64 = 3_600_000_000; // 1 hour
+```
+
+### Configurable Limit
+
+```rust
+let mgr = HyperperiodManager::with_limit(7_200_000_000); // 2 hours
+```
+
+### Overflow Limit
+
+Maximum possible `u64` value:
+```
+u64::MAX = 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 Β΅s
+ β 18,446,744 seconds
+ β 213 days
+```
+
+Practically, hyperperiods > 1 hour are usually configuration errors.
+
+---
+
+## Usage Example
+
+### C++ Usage
+
+```cpp
+HyperperiodManager hp_mgr;
+uint64_t hyperperiod = hp_mgr.CalculateHyperperiod("wl_001", tasks);
+
+if (hyperperiod == 0) {
+ // Error - but what kind?
+ LOG_ERROR("Hyperperiod calculation failed");
+ return false;
+}
+
+const HyperperiodInfo* info = hp_mgr.GetHyperperiodInfo("wl_001");
+```
+
+### Rust Usage
+
+```rust
+let mut hp_mgr = HyperperiodManager::new();
+
+match hp_mgr.calculate_hyperperiod("wl_001", &tasks) {
+ Ok(info) => {
+ info!(
+ workload_id = %info.workload_id,
+ hyperperiod_ms = info.hyperperiod_us / 1_000,
+ task_count = info.task_count,
+ "Hyperperiod calculated"
+ );
+ }
+ Err(HyperperiodError::Overflow { a, b }) => {
+ error!("LCM overflow: lcm({}, {})", a, b);
+ return Err(Status::invalid_argument("hyperperiod overflow"));
+ }
+ Err(HyperperiodError::TooLarge { value_us, limit_us }) => {
+ warn!("Hyperperiod {}s exceeds {}s - rejecting",
+ value_us / 1_000_000, limit_us / 1_000_000);
+ return Err(Status::invalid_argument("hyperperiod too large"));
+ }
+ Err(HyperperiodError::NoValidPeriods) => {

+## Migration Notes
+
+### What Changed
+
+1. **Return Type:** `uint64_t` β `Result<&HyperperiodInfo, HyperperiodError>`

+5. **Error Clarity:** Sentinel `0` β Typed error variants
+
+### What Stayed the Same
+
+1. **Algorithm:** Euclidean GCD + LCM formula unchanged
+2. **Data Structure:** `HyperperiodInfo` fields identical
+3. **Default Limit:** 1 hour (3,600,000,000 Β΅s)

+ uint64_t max_memory_mb;
+ std::string architecture;
+ std::string location;
+ std::string description;
+};
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (C++)
+
+1. **Parse** YAML configuration files
+2. **Store** node hardware specifications
+3. **Provide** read-only access to node configurations
+4. **Validate** configuration structure
+5. **Fallback** to default configuration if file is empty
+
+### YAML Format (C++)
+
+```yaml

+ node01:
+ available_cpus: [2, 3]
+ max_memory_mb: 4096
+ architecture: "aarch64"
+ location: "front_sensor_unit"
+ description: "Perception and sensor fusion node"
+```
+

+
+## Will-Be: Rust Implementation
+
+### Module Structure
+
+```rust
+// File: timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/config/mod.rs
+
+#[derive(Debug, Default)]
+pub struct NodeConfigManager {
+ nodes: HashMap,
+ loaded: bool,
+}
+
+#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
+pub struct NodeConfig {
+ pub name: String,
+ pub available_cpus: Vec,
+ pub max_memory_mb: u64,
+ pub architecture: String,
+ pub location: String,
+ pub description: String,
+}
+```
+
+### Responsibilities (Rust)
+
+1. **Load** YAML using `serde_yaml` (type-safe deserialization)
+2. **Validate** structure at parse time (compile-time schema)
+3. **Provide** immutable access via `&NodeConfig` references
+4. **Fallback** to default config if no nodes parsed
+5. **Support** config reload (clears and re-parses)
+
+### Implementation (Rust)
+
+```rust
+impl NodeConfigManager {
+ pub fn new() -> Self {
+ Self::default()
+ }
+
+ pub fn load_from_file(&mut self, path: &Path) -> Result<()> {
+ info!("Loading node configuration from: {}", path.display());

+
+ // Parse YAML with Serde
+ let file: NodeConfigFile = serde_yaml::from_str(&content)
+ .with_context(|| format!("Failed to parse YAML file: {}", path.display()))?;
+
+ // Convert to NodeConfig
+ for (name, entry) in file.nodes {
+ let node = NodeConfig {

+ location: entry.location.unwrap_or_default(),
+ description: entry.description.unwrap_or_default(),
+ };
+ self.nodes.insert(name, node);
+ }
+
+ // Fallback: if no nodes, insert default
+ if self.nodes.is_empty() {
+ warn!("No nodes found in configuration file, using default configuration");
+ let default = NodeConfig::default_config("default_node");
+ self.nodes.insert("default_node".to_string(), default);
+ }
+
+ self.loaded = true;
+ Ok(())
+ }
+
+ pub fn get_node_config(&self, name: &str) -> Option<&NodeConfig> {
+ self.nodes.get(name)
+ }
+
+ pub fn get_all_nodes(&self) -> &HashMap {

+
+ pub fn is_loaded(&self) -> bool {
+ self.loaded
+ }
+
+ pub fn node_count(&self) -> usize {
+ self.nodes.len()
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Default Configuration (Rust)
+
+```rust
+impl NodeConfig {
+ pub fn default_config(name: impl Into) -> Self {
+ Self {
+ name: name.into(),
+ available_cpus: vec![0, 1, 2, 3],

+## As-Is vs Will-Be Comparison
+
+| Aspect | C++ (As-Is) | Rust (Will-Be) |
+|--------|-------------|----------------|
+| **YAML Parser** | Custom/yaml-cpp (manual parsing) | `serde_yaml` (automatic deserialization) |
+| **Error Handling** | `bool` return + logging | `Result<(), anyhow::Error>` with context |
+| **Type Safety** | Runtime validation | Compile-time schema via Serde `Deserialize` |
+| **CPU Type** | `std::vector` | `Vec` (unsigned) |
+| **Optional Fields** | Manual presence checks | `Option` + `unwrap_or_default()` |
+| **Memory Limit** | `uint64_t` | `u64` (with sentinel `u64::MAX` = unconstrained) |
+| **Default Fallback** | `GetDefaultNodeConfig()` returns pointer | `NodeConfig::default_config()` returns value |
+| **Reload Support** | Implicit | Explicit `clear()` before re-parse |
+| **Access Pattern** | `const NodeConfig*` (pointer) | `Option<&NodeConfig>` (reference) |
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-CFG-001: Serde Deserialization vs Manual Parsing
+
+**C++ Approach:**
+```cpp
+bool LoadFromFile(const std::string& path) {
+ YAML::Node root = YAML::LoadFile(path);
+ YAML::Node nodes = root["nodes"];
+
+ for (auto it = nodes.begin(); it != nodes.end(); ++it) {
+ std::string name = it->first.as();
+ YAML::Node node = it->second;
+
+ NodeConfig config;
+ config.name = name;
+ config.available_cpus = node["available_cpus"].as>();
+ config.max_memory_mb = node["max_memory_mb"].as(4096);
+ // ... manual field extraction
+
+ nodes_[name] = config;
+ }
+ return true;
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Approach:**
+```rust
+// Define YAML structure with Serde
+#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
+struct NodeConfigFile {
+ nodes: HashMap,
+}
+
+#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
+struct NodeConfigEntry {
+ #[serde(default)]
+ available_cpus: Vec,
+
+ #[serde(default = "default_max_memory_mb")]
+ max_memory_mb: u64,
+
+ architecture: Option,
+ location: Option,
+ description: Option,
+}
+
+fn default_max_memory_mb() -> u64 {
+ u64::MAX // Unconstrained
+}
+
+// Deserialization is automatic
+let file: NodeConfigFile = serde_yaml::from_str(&content)?;
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Type Safety:** Serde validates types at parse time
+- **Default Values:** `#[serde(default)]` attribute handles missing fields
+- **Error Messages:** Serde provides detailed parse errors with line numbers
+- **No Manual Extraction:** Automatic conversion from YAML to Rust struct
+
+---
+
+### D-CFG-002: Optional Fields Handling
+
+**C++ Approach:**
+```cpp
+// All fields are required - crash if missing
+config.architecture = node["architecture"].as();
+```
+
+**Rust Approach:**
+```rust
+// YAML field type
+architecture: Option,
+
+// Conversion to NodeConfig
+architecture: entry.architecture.unwrap_or_default(),
+// If missing in YAML β Some(None) β unwrap_or_default() β ""
+```
+
+**Validation Levels:**
+1. **Required:** `available_cpus: Vec` - parse fails if missing
+2. **Optional with default:** `max_memory_mb` - uses `default_max_memory_mb()` if missing
+3. **Optional:** `architecture: Option` - becomes `""` if missing
+
+**Example YAML (minimal valid):**
+```yaml
+nodes:
+ node01:
+ available_cpus: [0, 1]
+ # max_memory_mb β defaults to u64::MAX
+ # architecture β defaults to ""
+```
+
+---
+
+### D-CFG-003: Memory Limit Semantics
+
+**C++ Implementation:**
+```cpp
+uint64_t max_memory_mb; // 0 = unconstrained?
+```
+
+**Rust Implementation:**
+```rust
+#[serde(default = "default_max_memory_mb")]
+max_memory_mb: u64,
+
+fn default_max_memory_mb() -> u64 {
+ u64::MAX // Explicitly means "no constraint"
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `0` is ambiguous (zero memory allowed? or unconstrained?)
+- `u64::MAX` is explicit sentinel value for "no limit"
+- Scheduler checks: `if node.max_memory_mb == u64::MAX { /* skip memory check */ }`
+
+**Future Extension:**
+When proto adds `memory_mb` field for tasks (currently dormant), scheduler will:
+```rust
+if node.max_memory_mb != u64::MAX {
+ let total_memory: u64 = tasks_on_node.iter().map(|t| t.memory_mb).sum();
+ if total_memory > node.max_memory_mb {
+ return Err(SchedulerError::MemoryExceeded);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## YAML Schema
+
+### Full Example
+
+```yaml
+nodes:
+ node01:
+ available_cpus: [2, 3]
+ max_memory_mb: 4096
+ architecture: "aarch64"
+ location: "front_sensor_unit"
+ description: "Perception and sensor fusion node"
+
+ node02:
+ available_cpus: [0, 1, 2, 3]
+ max_memory_mb: 8192
+ architecture: "x86_64"
+ location: "compute_unit"
+ description: "High-performance compute node"
+
+ node03:
+ available_cpus: [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
+ # max_memory_mb omitted β defaults to u64::MAX (unconstrained)
+ architecture: "aarch64"
+ location: "rear_compute_cluster"
+```
+
+### Field Descriptions
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `available_cpus` | `Vec` | β
Yes | N/A | List of CPU IDs available on this node |
+| `max_memory_mb` | `u64` | β No | `u64::MAX` | Maximum memory in MB (u64::MAX = unconstrained) |
+| `architecture` | `String` | β No | `""` | CPU architecture (aarch64, x86_64, etc.) |
+| `location` | `String` | β No | `""` | Physical location (documentation only) |
+| `description` | `String` | β No | `""` | Node purpose (documentation only) |
+

+
+## Error Handling
+
+### C++ Error Handling
+
+```cpp
+bool LoadFromFile(const std::string& path) {
+ try {
+ YAML::Node root = YAML::LoadFile(path);
+ // ... parse
+ return true;
+ } catch (const YAML::Exception& e) {
+ LOG_ERROR("YAML parse error: " << e.what());
+ return false;
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- `bool` return doesn't explain what failed
+- No file I/O error details
+- Caller doesn't know if file missing vs. invalid YAML
+
+### Rust Error Handling
+
+```rust
+pub fn load_from_file(&mut self, path: &Path) -> Result<()> {
+ let content = std::fs::read_to_string(path)
+ .with_context(|| format!("Cannot open configuration file: {}", path.display()))?;
+
+ let file: NodeConfigFile = serde_yaml::from_str(&content)
+ .with_context(|| format!("Failed to parse YAML file: {}", path.display()))?;
+
+ // ...
+ Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+**Error Messages:**
+```
+Cannot open configuration file: /path/to/nodes.yaml: No such file or directory
+
+Failed to parse YAML file: /path/to/nodes.yaml: missing field `available_cpus` at line 3 column 5
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Context Chain:** `with_context()` adds file path to underlying I/O error
+- **Serde Errors:** Include line/column numbers for parse errors
+- **Propagation:** `?` operator propagates errors with full context
+

+
+## Usage Example
+
+### C++ Usage
+
+```cpp
+auto node_config_mgr = std::make_shared();
+
+if (!node_config_mgr->LoadFromFile("/etc/timpani/nodes.yaml")) {
+ LOG_ERROR("Failed to load configuration");
+ return -1;
+}
+
+const NodeConfig* node = node_config_mgr->GetNodeConfig("node01");
+if (node == nullptr) {
+ LOG_ERROR("Node not found");
+ return -1;
+}
+
+std::cout << "Node: " << node->name
+ << ", CPUs: " << node->available_cpus.size() << std::endl;
+```
+
+### Rust Usage
+
+```rust
+let mut node_config_mgr = NodeConfigManager::new();
+
+node_config_mgr.load_from_file(Path::new("/etc/timpani/nodes.yaml"))?;
+
+let node = node_config_mgr.get_node_config("node01")
+ .ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("Node 'node01' not found"))?;
+
+info!(
+ "Node: {}, CPUs: {}, Memory: {}MB",
+ node.name,
+ node.cpu_count(),
+ node.max_memory_mb
+);
+
+// Iterate all nodes
+for (name, config) in node_config_mgr.get_all_nodes() {
+ info!(" {} β {} CPUs", name, config.cpu_count());
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Injection Pattern
+
+### C++ (Constructor Injection)
+
+```cpp
+class GlobalScheduler {
+ std::shared_ptr node_config_mgr_;
+
+public:
+ explicit GlobalScheduler(std::shared_ptr mgr)
+ : node_config_mgr_(mgr) {}
+};
+
+// Usage
+auto node_mgr = std::make_shared();
+auto scheduler = std::make_shared(node_mgr);
+```
+
+### Rust (Arc Injection)
+
+```rust
+pub struct GlobalScheduler {
+ node_config_manager: Arc,
+}
+
+impl GlobalScheduler {
+ pub fn new(node_config_manager: Arc) -> Self {
+ Self { node_config_manager }
+ }
+}
+
+// Usage
+let node_mgr = Arc::new(node_config_manager);
+let scheduler = GlobalScheduler::new(Arc::clone(&node_mgr));
+```
+
+**Pattern:** Single `NodeConfigManager` instance loaded at startup, wrapped in `Arc`, cloned and injected into all components that need node information.
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### C++ Testing
+
+```cpp
+TEST_F(NodeConfigManagerTest, LoadValidFile) {
+ NodeConfigManager mgr;
+ bool result = mgr.LoadFromFile("test_configs/nodes.yaml");
+
+ EXPECT_TRUE(result);
+ EXPECT_GT(mgr.GetAllNodes().size(), 0);
+}
+```
+
+### Rust Testing
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn test_load_valid_config() -> Result<()> {
+ let mut mgr = NodeConfigManager::new();
+
+ let temp_yaml = r#"
+nodes:
+ test_node:

+
+ let node = mgr.get_node_config("test_node").unwrap();
+ assert_eq!(node.cpu_count(), 4);
+ assert_eq!(node.max_memory_mb, 4096);
+ assert_eq!(node.architecture, "aarch64");
+
+ Ok(())
+}

+ assert_eq!(node.max_memory_mb, u64::MAX); // Default
+ assert_eq!(node.architecture, ""); // Default
+
+ Ok(())
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn test_empty_file_uses_default_node() -> Result<()> {
+ let yaml = "nodes: {}\n";
+
+ let temp_file = NamedTempFile::new()?;
+ std::fs::write(&temp_file, yaml)?;

+ // Should auto-insert "default_node"

+
+ Ok(())

+### What Changed
+
+1. **Parser:** Manual YAML parsing β Serde automatic deserialization
+2. **Error Handling:** `bool` β `Result<(), anyhow::Error>` with context
+3. **Type Safety:** Runtime validation β Compile-time schema
+4. **CPU Type:** `std::vector` β `Vec` (unsigned)
+5. **Optional Fields:** Manual checks β `Option` + defaults
+6. **Memory Sentinel:** Implicit β Explicit `u64::MAX`
+
+### What Stayed the Same
+
+1. **YAML Format:** Identical structure
+2. **NodeConfig Fields:** Same fields, same semantics
+3. **Default Fallback:** Still inserts default_node if empty
+4. **Access Pattern:** Read-only access via getter methods
+5. **Reload Support:** Clear and re-parse capability

+
+---
+
+## As-Is: C++ Implementation
+
+### Utility Functions (C++)
+
+```cpp
+// Namespace or free functions
+namespace timpani {
+
+// GCD calculation (Euclidean algorithm)
+uint64_t CalculateGCD(uint64_t a, uint64_t b);
+
+// LCM calculation
+uint64_t CalculateLCM(uint64_t a, uint64_t b);

+
+// Helper: Find minimum element
+template
+typename T::const_iterator FindMin(const T& container);
+
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Will-Be: Rust Implementation
+
+### 1. Feasibility Analysis
+
+**File:** `timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/scheduler/feasibility.rs`
+
+```rust
+/// Compute Liu & Layland utilisation upper bound for `n` tasks.
+///
+/// U_bound(n) = n Γ (2^(1/n) β 1)
+pub fn liu_layland_bound(n: usize) -> f64 {
+ if n == 0 {
+ return 0.0;
+ }
+ let nf = n as f64;
+ nf * (2.0_f64.powf(1.0 / nf) - 1.0)
+}
+
+/// Check whether tasks satisfy Liu & Layland schedulability bound.
+///
+/// Returns `None` if provably schedulable (U β€ bound).
+/// Returns `Some(total_u)` if bound exceeded (warning).
+pub fn check_liu_layland(tasks_on_node: &[&Task]) -> Option {
+ let feasible: Vec<&Task> = tasks_on_node
+ .iter()
+ .copied()
+ .filter(|t| t.period_us > 0)
+ .collect();
+
+ if feasible.is_empty() {
+ return None;
+ }
+
+ let total_u: f64 = feasible
+ .iter()
+ .map(|t| t.runtime_us as f64 / t.period_us as f64)
+ .sum();
+
+ let bound = liu_layland_bound(feasible.len());
+
+ if total_u > bound {
+ Some(total_u)
+ } else {
+ None
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+```rust
+if let Some(total_u) = check_liu_layland(&tasks_on_node) {
+ warn!(
+ node_id = %node_id,
+ utilization = %total_u,
+ bound = %liu_layland_bound(tasks_on_node.len()),
+ "Liu & Layland bound exceeded β RTA recommended"
+ );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Mathematical Utilities
+
+**File:** `timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/hyperperiod/math.rs`
+
+```rust
+/// Greatest Common Divisor (Euclidean algorithm)
+pub fn gcd(mut a: u64, mut b: u64) -> u64 {
+ while b != 0 {
+ let temp = b;
+ b = a % b;
+ a = temp;
+ }
+ a
+}
+
+/// Least Common Multiple with overflow detection
+pub fn lcm(a: u64, b: u64) -> Result {
+ if a == 0 || b == 0 {
+ return Ok(0);
+ }
+
+ let g = gcd(a, b);
+ let quotient = a / g;
+
+ quotient.checked_mul(b).ok_or_else(|| {
+ HyperperiodError::Overflow { a, b }
+ })
+}
+
+/// LCM of multiple values
+pub fn lcm_of_slice(periods: &[u64]) -> Result {
+ periods.iter().try_fold(1u64, |acc, &p| lcm(acc, p))
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. CPU Utilization Helpers
+
+**Integrated in `scheduler/mod.rs`:**
+
+```rust
+// Build CPU utilization map
+fn build_cpu_utilization(avail: &AvailCpus) -> CpuUtil {
+ let mut util = BTreeMap::new();
+ for (node_id, cpus) in avail {
+ let mut cpu_map = BTreeMap::new();
+ for &cpu in cpus {
+ cpu_map.insert(cpu, 0.0);
+ }
+ util.insert(node_id.clone(), cpu_map);
+ }
+ util
+}
+
+// Update utilization after assignment
+fn update_cpu_utilization(
+ node_id: &str,
+ cpu: u32,
+ task: &Task,
+ util: &mut CpuUtil,
+) {
+ let task_util = task.runtime_us as f64 / task.period_us as f64;
+ *util.get_mut(node_id).unwrap().get_mut(&cpu).unwrap() += task_util;
+}
+
+// Find least loaded node
+fn find_least_loaded_node(util: &CpuUtil) -> Option {
+ util.iter()
+ .map(|(node_id, cpu_map)| {
+ let total_u: f64 = cpu_map.values().sum();
+ (node_id, total_u)
+ })
+ .min_by(|(_, u1), (_, u2)| u1.partial_cmp(u2).unwrap())
+ .map(|(node_id, _)| node_id.clone())
+}
+```

+
+## As-Is vs Will-Be Comparison
+
+| Utility | C++ (As-Is) | Rust (Will-Be) |
+|---------|-------------|----------------|
+| **GCD** | `uint64_t CalculateGCD(a, b)` | `pub fn gcd(a: u64, b: u64) -> u64` |
+| **LCM** | `uint64_t CalculateLCM(a, b)` (silent overflow) | `pub fn lcm(a, b) -> Result` (checked) |
+| **Liu & Layland** | Not implemented | `pub fn liu_layland_bound(n) -> f64` |

+| **Organization** | Free functions in namespace | Modules (`feasibility.rs`, `math.rs`) |
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-UTIL-001: Module Organization
+
+**C++ (Scattered):**
+```cpp
+// Some in scheduler.cpp
+// Some in hyperperiod.cpp
+// Some in utils.cpp
+namespace timpani {
+ uint64_t CalculateGCD(...);
+ double CalculateCpuUtilization(...);
+}
+```
+
+**Rust (Organized by Domain):**
+```
+src/
+ scheduler/
+ mod.rs β Main scheduler logic
+ feasibility.rs β Liu & Layland utilities
+ error.rs β Error types
+ hyperperiod/
+ mod.rs β Hyperperiod manager
+ math.rs β GCD/LCM utilities
+```
+
+**Rationale:** Group utilities by domain for better discoverability and testing.
+
+---
+
+### D-UTIL-002: Liu & Layland Implementation
+
+**Formula:**
+$$U_{\text{bound}}(n) = n \left(2^{1/n} - 1\right)$$
+
+**Implementation:**
+```rust
+pub fn liu_layland_bound(n: usize) -> f64 {
+ if n == 0 {
+ return 0.0;
+ }
+ let nf = n as f64;
+ nf * (2.0_f64.powf(1.0 / nf) - 1.0)
+}
+```
+
+**Test Cases:**
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn bound_one_task_is_one() {
+ assert_eq!(liu_layland_bound(1), 1.0);
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn bound_two_tasks_is_approximately_0_828() {
+ let b = liu_layland_bound(2);
+ assert!((b - 0.8284).abs() < 1e-3);
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn bound_converges_toward_ln2() {
+ let b = liu_layland_bound(1000);
+ assert!((b - 2.0_f64.ln()).abs() < 1e-3); // ln(2) β 0.6931
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### D-UTIL-003: Checked Arithmetic
+
+**C++ (Unchecked):**
+```cpp
+uint64_t CalculateLCM(uint64_t a, uint64_t b) {
+ uint64_t gcd = CalculateGCD(a, b);
+ return (a / gcd) * b; // Can overflow silently!
+}
+```
+
+**Rust (Checked):**
+```rust
+pub fn lcm(a: u64, b: u64) -> Result {
+ let g = gcd(a, b);
+ let quotient = a / g;
+
+ quotient.checked_mul(b).ok_or_else(|| {
+ HyperperiodError::Overflow { a, b }
+ })
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Explicit:** Caller must handle `Err(Overflow)`
+- **Context:** Error includes operands that caused overflow
+- **Safe:** Cannot silently wrap around
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### C++ Testing
+
+```cpp
+TEST(UtilsTest, GCD) {
+ EXPECT_EQ(CalculateGCD(48, 18), 6);
+}
+
+TEST(UtilsTest, LCM) {
+ EXPECT_EQ(CalculateLCM(4, 6), 12);
+ // Cannot test overflow easily
+}
+```
+
+### Rust Testing
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn test_gcd() {
+ assert_eq!(gcd(48, 18), 6);
+ assert_eq!(gcd(0, 5), 5);
+ assert_eq!(gcd(5, 0), 5);
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn test_lcm_success() {
+ assert_eq!(lcm(4, 6).unwrap(), 12);
+ assert_eq!(lcm(10, 15).unwrap(), 30);
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn test_lcm_overflow_detection() {
+ let result = lcm(u64::MAX, 2);
+ assert!(matches!(result, Err(HyperperiodError::Overflow { .. })));
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn test_liu_layland_classic_example() {
+ // From Liu & Layland's 1973 paper:
+ // Task A: T=10ms, C=3ms β U=0.30
+ // Task B: T=20ms, C=5ms β U=0.25
+ // Task C: T=50ms, C=8ms β U=0.16
+ // Total U = 0.71, bound(3) β 0.780 β FEASIBLE
+ let a = Task { period_us: 10_000, runtime_us: 3_000, ..Default::default() };
+ let b = Task { period_us: 20_000, runtime_us: 5_000, ..Default::default() };
+ let c = Task { period_us: 50_000, runtime_us: 8_000, ..Default::default() };
+
+ let result = check_liu_layland(&[&a, &b, &c]);
+
+ assert!(result.is_none(), "Should be feasible");
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### 1. Feasibility Check in Scheduler
+
+```rust
+impl GlobalScheduler {
+ fn run_liu_layland_check(&self, tasks: &[Task]) {
+ // Group tasks by node
+ let mut node_tasks: HashMap<&str, Vec<&Task>> = HashMap::new();
+ for task in tasks {
+ node_tasks.entry(&task.assigned_node).or_default().push(task);
+ }
+
+ // Check each node
+ for (node_id, tasks_on_node) in node_tasks {
+ if let Some(total_u) = check_liu_layland(&tasks_on_node) {
+ warn!(
+ node_id = %node_id,
+ utilization = %total_u,
+ bound = %liu_layland_bound(tasks_on_node.len()),
+ task_count = tasks_on_node.len(),
+ "Liu & Layland bound exceeded β Response Time Analysis recommended"
+ );
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Hyperperiod Calculation
+
+```rust
+let unique_periods = vec![10_000, 20_000, 30_000];
+
+match lcm_of_slice(&unique_periods) {
+ Ok(hp) => info!("Hyperperiod: {}Β΅s", hp), // 60,000
+ Err(HyperperiodError::Overflow { a, b }) => {
+ error!("LCM overflow: lcm({}, {})", a, b);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. CPU Assignment
+
+```rust
+fn find_best_cpu_for_task(
+ task: &Task,
+ node_id: &str,
+ avail: &AvailCpus,
+ util: &CpuUtil,
+) -> Result {
+ let node_cpus = avail.get(node_id).ok_or(...)?;
+
+ // Filter by affinity
+ let allowed: Vec = node_cpus.iter()
+ .filter(|&&cpu| task.affinity.allows_cpu(cpu))
+ .copied()
+ .collect();
+
+ // Find CPU with lowest utilization
+ let best_cpu = allowed.iter()
+ .min_by(|a, b| {
+ let u_a = util[node_id].get(a).unwrap_or(&0.0);
+ let u_b = util[node_id].get(b).unwrap_or(&0.0);
+ u_a.partial_cmp(u_b).unwrap()
+ })
+ .copied()
+ .ok_or(SchedulerError::NoAvailableCpu)?;
+
+ Ok(best_cpu)
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### What Changed
+
+1. **Organization:** Scattered functions β Domain-specific modules
+2. **Overflow Handling:** Silent β Checked arithmetic with `Result`
+3. **Feasibility:** Not implemented β Liu & Layland bounds
+4. **Type Safety:** Free functions β Module-scoped public functions
+5. **Testing:** Limited β Comprehensive unit tests
+
+### What Stayed the Same
+
+1. **Algorithms:** GCD (Euclidean), LCM formula unchanged
+2. **Utilization Calculation:** `runtime / period` logic identical
+3. **Semantics:** Same mathematical operations

+
+### Issues (C++)
+
+| Issue | Impact |
+|-------|--------|
+| Dual time units (ms + Β΅s) | Redundant storage, sync issues |
+| `int policy` | No type safety, invalid values possible |
+| Dual affinity (`std::string` + `int`) | Confusing, requires manual parsing |
+| `assigned_cpu = -1` sentinel | Ambiguous with actual CPU -1 |
+| Fixed `char[16]` buffers | Silent truncation risk |
+| Dead fields (`dependencies`, `cluster_requirement`) | Wasted memory |
+| `std::map>` | Copies entire task list |
+

+## As-Is vs Will-Be Comparison
+
+| Aspect | C++ (As-Is) | Rust (Will-Be) |
+|--------|-------------|----------------|
+| **Scheduling Policy** | `int policy` (0/1/2) | `enum SchedPolicy { Normal, Fifo, RoundRobin }` |
+| **CPU Affinity** | Dual: `std::string` + `int` | `enum CpuAffinity { Any, Pinned(u64) }` |
+| **Time Units** | ms + Β΅s (duplicate storage) | Single unit: Β΅s internally, ns for wire |
+| **Unassigned CPU** | `assigned_cpu = -1` | `assigned_cpu: Option` |
+| **Task Name Length** | `char[16]` (truncation risk) | `String` (unbounded) |
+| **Memory Tracking** | Not present | `memory_mb: u64` (ready for future) |
+| **Dead Fields** | `dependencies`, `cluster_requirement` | Removed |
+| **Utilization** | No helper | `task.utilization()` method |
+| **Assignment Check** | Manual field checks | `task.is_assigned()` method |
+| **Type Safety** | Runtime validation | Compile-time via enums |
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-DATA-001: Single Time Unit
+
+**C++ Problem:**
+```cpp
+struct Task {
+ int period_ms; // Duplicated
+ uint64_t period_us; // Duplicated
+ // Which one is source of truth?
+};
+```
+
+**Rust Solution:**
+```rust
+pub struct Task {
+ pub period_us: u64, // Single source of truth
+}
+
+impl SchedTask {
+ pub fn from_task(task: &Task) -> Self {
+ SchedTask {
+ period_ns: task.period_us.saturating_mul(1_000), // Convert to ns
+ // ...
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- **Internal:** Use Β΅s (microseconds) everywhere
+- **Wire Protocol:** Convert to ns (nanoseconds) only when sending to timpani-n
+- **No Duplication:** Single field eliminates sync issues
+
+---
+
+### D-DATA-002: Type-Safe Scheduling Policy
+
+**C++ Problem:**
+```cpp
+int policy = 99; // Compiles, but invalid!
+```
+
+**Rust Solution:**
+```rust
+pub enum SchedPolicy {
+ Normal,
+ Fifo,
+ RoundRobin,
+}
+
+// Cannot create invalid value at compile time
+let policy = SchedPolicy::Fifo;
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Invalid States Impossible:** Compiler rejects invalid policies
+- **Pattern Matching:** Exhaustive `match` ensures all cases handled
+- **Self-Documenting:** `SchedPolicy::Fifo` clearer than `1`
+
+---
+
+### D-DATA-003: Option for Assignment
+
+**C++ Sentinel:**
+```cpp
+int assigned_cpu = -1; // Unassigned
+if (task.assigned_cpu == -1) { /* not assigned */ }
+```
+
+**Rust Option:**
+```rust
+pub assigned_cpu: Option,
+
+if task.assigned_cpu.is_none() { /* not assigned */ }
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **No Magic Number:** `-1` is not a valid `u32` value
+- **Explicit Intent:** `Option::None` clearly means "not yet assigned"
+- **Type Safety:** Cannot accidentally use `None` as a CPU ID
+
+---
+
+### D-DATA-004: CPU Affinity Enum
+
+**C++ Dual Representation:**
+```cpp
+std::string affinity = "0x0C"; // String representation
+int cpu_affinity = 12; // Numeric representation
+// Which is source of truth? Need manual parsing
+```
+
+**Rust Unified Type:**
+```rust
+pub enum CpuAffinity {
+ Any, // No constraint
+ Pinned(u64), // Bitmask
+}
+
+impl CpuAffinity {
+ pub fn allows_cpu(&self, cpu_id: u32) -> bool {
+ match self {
+ CpuAffinity::Any => true,
+ CpuAffinity::Pinned(mask) => (mask >> cpu_id) & 1 == 1,
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+```rust
+if task.affinity.allows_cpu(2) {
+ // CPU 2 is allowed
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Single Representation:** No string/int duality
+- **Clear Semantics:** `Any` vs `Pinned` explicit
+- **Helper Methods:** `allows_cpu()`, `lowest_cpu()`
+
+---
+
+### D-DATA-005: Unbounded Task Names
+
+**C++ Fixed Buffer:**
+```cpp
+char name[16]; // "very_long_task_name" β "very_long_task_" (truncated)
+strncpy(sched_task.name, task.name.c_str(), 15);
+sched_task.name[15] = '\0';
+```
+
+**Rust String:**
+```rust
+pub name: String, // No length limit
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- **No Truncation:** Task names preserve full length
+- **Safety:** Rust strings are UTF-8 validated
+- **Flexibility:** Can use descriptive names
+
+---
+
+## Memory Layout Comparison
+
+### C++ Task (Approximate)
+
+```
+sizeof(Task) β 200+ bytes:
+- std::string name (24 bytes)
+- std::string workload_id (24 bytes)
+- std::string target_node (24 bytes)
+- int period_ms (4 bytes)
+- uint64_t period_us (8 bytes) β Duplicate
+- ... (more duplicates)
+- std::vector dependencies (24 bytes) β Unused
+- std::string cluster_requirement (24 bytes) β Unused
+```
+
+### Rust Task (Approximate)
+
+```
+sizeof(Task) β 140 bytes:
+- String name (24 bytes)
+- String workload_id (24 bytes)
+- String target_node (24 bytes)
+- SchedPolicy (1 byte + padding)
+- CpuAffinity (16 bytes = enum tag + u64)
+- period_us (8 bytes) β Single
+- ... (no duplicates)
+- No dead fields
+```
+
+**Savings:** ~60 bytes per task (~30% reduction)
+
+---
+
+## Utilization Calculation
+
+### C++ Implementation
+
+```cpp
+double GetUtilization(const Task& task) {
+ if (task.period_us == 0) return 0.0;
+ return static_cast(task.runtime_us) / task.period_us;
+}
+// Separate free function
+```
+
+### Rust Implementation
+
+```rust
+impl Task {
+ pub fn utilization(&self) -> f64 {
+ if self.period_us == 0 {
+ 0.0
+ } else {
+ self.runtime_us as f64 / self.period_us as f64
+ }
+ }
+}
+
+// Usage:
+let u = task.utilization();
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Method attached to type (discoverability)
+- Consistent interface (`task.utilization()`)
+- No external helper function needed
+
+---
+
+## Proto Conversion
+
+### TaskInfo β Task
+
+```rust
+fn task_from_proto(t: &TaskInfo, workload_id: &str) -> Task {
+ Task {
+ name: t.name.clone(),
+ workload_id: workload_id.to_owned(),
+ target_node: t.node_id.clone(),
+ policy: SchedPolicy::from_proto_int(t.policy),
+ priority: t.priority,
+ affinity: CpuAffinity::from_proto(t.cpu_affinity),
+ period_us: t.period.max(0) as u64,
+ runtime_us: t.runtime.max(0) as u64,
+ deadline_us: t.deadline.max(0) as u64,
+ release_time_us: t.release_time.max(0) as u32,
+ max_dmiss: t.max_dmiss,
+ memory_mb: 0, // Not in proto yet
+ ..Task::default()
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Task β ScheduledTask (Proto)
+
+```rust
+fn to_proto_task(t: &SchedTask) -> ScheduledTask {
+ ScheduledTask {
+ name: t.name.clone(),
+ sched_priority: t.priority,
+ sched_policy: t.policy.to_linux_int(),
+ period_us: (t.period_ns / 1_000) as i32,
+ release_time_us: t.release_time_us,
+ runtime_us: (t.runtime_ns / 1_000) as i32,
+ deadline_us: (t.deadline_ns / 1_000) as i32,
+ cpu_affinity: 1u64 << t.assigned_cpu, // Single-bit mask
+ max_dmiss: t.max_dmiss,
+ assigned_node: t.assigned_node.clone(),
+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### C++ Testing
+
+```cpp
+TEST(TaskTest, Utilization) {
+ Task task;
+ task.period_us = 10000;
+ task.runtime_us = 2000;
+
+ double util = GetUtilization(task);
+ EXPECT_DOUBLE_EQ(util, 0.2);
+}
+```
+

+
+```rust

+}
+

+ assert!(task.is_assigned());
+}
+```
+

+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### What Changed
+
+1. **Policy:** `int` β `enum SchedPolicy`
+2. **Affinity:** Dual representation β `enum CpuAffinity`
+3. **Time Units:** ms + Β΅s β Β΅s only
+4. **Assignment:** `int = -1` β `Option`
+5. **Task Names:** `char[16]` β `String`
+6. **Dead Fields:** Removed `dependencies`, `cluster_requirement`
+7. **Helpers:** Added `utilization()`, `is_assigned()`, `allows_cpu()`
+
+### What Stayed the Same
+
+1. **Core Fields:** name, workload_id, priority, period, runtime, deadline
+2. **Scheduling Semantics:** FIFO, RR, Normal policies
+3. **Affinity Logic:** Bitmask-based CPU selection
+4. **Wire Protocol:** Same proto messages (TaskInfo, ScheduledTask)

+**Component Type:** Protocol Definitions & Wire Format
+**Responsibility:** Define gRPC services, message formats, and protocol buffers for all communication
+**Status:** β
Migrated (C++ β Rust, D-Bus β gRPC)
+
+## Component Overview
+
+Communication Protocols component defines all inter-process communication between:
+1. **Pullpiri β timpani-o** (gRPC): Workload submission and fault reporting
+2. **timpani-o β timpani-n** (C++: D-Bus | Rust: gRPC): Schedule distribution and synchronization
+
+---
+
+## As-Is: C++ Implementation
+
+### Protocol Summary (C++)
+
+| Connection | Protocol | Port | Serialization |
+|------------|----------|------|---------------|
+| Pullpiri β timpani-o (SchedInfo) | gRPC | 50052 | Protobuf |
+| timpani-o β Pullpiri (Fault) | gRPC | 50053 | Protobuf |
+| timpani-n β timpani-o | **D-Bus over TCP** | **7777** | **Custom binary (libtrpc)** |
+
+### D-Bus Protocol (C++ Only)
+
+```cpp
+// libtrpc custom serialization
+struct trpc_msg {
+ uint32_t msg_type;
+ uint32_t payload_size;
+ char payload[];
+};
+
+// Three RPC operations (C callbacks)
+extern "C" {
+ struct trpc_msg* GetSchedInfoCallback(const struct trpc_msg* req);
+ struct trpc_msg* SyncCallback(const struct trpc_msg* req);
+ void DMissCallback(const struct trpc_msg* req);
+}
+```
+
+### gRPC Protocol (C++)
+
+**File:** `proto/schedinfo.proto`
+
+```protobuf
+service SchedInfoService {
+ rpc AddSchedInfo (SchedInfo) returns (Response);
+}
+
+service FaultService {
+ rpc NotifyFault (FaultInfo) returns (Response);
+}
+
+message SchedInfo {
+ string workload_id = 1;
+ repeated TaskInfo tasks = 2;
+}
+
+message TaskInfo {
+ string name = 1;
+ int32 priority = 2;
+ int32 policy = 3;
+ uint64 cpu_affinity = 4;
+ int32 period = 5;
+ int32 release_time = 6;
+ int32 runtime = 7;
+ int32 deadline = 8;
+ string node_id = 9;
+ int32 max_dmiss = 10;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Will-Be: Rust Implementation
+
+### Protocol Summary (Rust)
+
+| Connection | Protocol | Port | Serialization |
+|------------|----------|------|---------------|
+| Pullpiri β timpani-o (SchedInfo) | gRPC | 50052 | Protobuf |
+| timpani-o β Pullpiri (Fault) | gRPC | 50053 | Protobuf |
+| timpani-n β timpani-o | **gRPC/HTTP2** | **50054** | **Protobuf** |
+
+### **BREAKING CHANGE: D-Bus β gRPC**
+
+**What Changed:**
+- **Protocol:** D-Bus peer-to-peer β gRPC/HTTP2
+- **Port:** 7777 β 50054
+- **Serialization:** Custom binary (`serialize.c`) β Protocol Buffers
+- **API:** C callbacks β Rust async trait methods
+
+**Why:**
+1. **Standard Protocol:** gRPC is industry-standard, better tooling
+2. **Type Safety:** Protobuf schema enforced at compile time
+3. **Debugging:** grpcurl, gRPC reflection, Wireshark dissectors
+4. **No Custom Code:** libtrpc removed - Tonic auto-generates everything
+
+---
+
+## Service Definitions
+
+### 1. SchedInfoService (Pullpiri β timpani-o)
+
+**Proto Definition:**
+```protobuf
+service SchedInfoService {
+ rpc AddSchedInfo (SchedInfo) returns (Response);
+}
+
+message SchedInfo {
+ string workload_id = 1;
+ repeated TaskInfo tasks = 2;
+}
+
+message TaskInfo {
+ string name = 1;
+ int32 priority = 2;
+ int32 policy = 3;
+ uint64 cpu_affinity = 4;
+ int32 period = 5;
+ int32 release_time = 6;
+ int32 runtime = 7;
+ int32 deadline = 8;
+ string node_id = 9;
+ int32 max_dmiss = 10;
+}
+
+message Response {
+ int32 status = 1;
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Implementation:**
+```rust
+#[tonic::async_trait]
+impl SchedInfoService for SchedInfoServiceImpl {
+ async fn add_sched_info(
+ &self,
+ request: Request,
+ ) -> Result, Status> {
+ let req = request.into_inner();
+ // ... process scheduling
+ Ok(Response::new(ProtoResponse { status: 0 }))
+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. FaultService (timpani-o β Pullpiri)
+
+**Proto Definition:**
+```protobuf
+service FaultService {
+ rpc NotifyFault (FaultInfo) returns (Response);
+}
+
+message FaultInfo {
+ string workload_id = 1;
+ string node_id = 2;
+ string task_name = 3;
+ FaultType fault_type = 4;
+}
+
+enum FaultType {
+ UNKNOWN = 0;
+ DMISS = 1; // Deadline miss
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Implementation:**
+```rust
+#[tonic::async_trait]
+impl FaultNotifier for FaultClient {
+ async fn notify_fault(&self, info: FaultNotification) -> Result<(), FaultError> {
+ let request = FaultInfo {
+ workload_id: info.workload_id,
+ node_id: info.node_id,
+ task_name: info.task_name,
+ fault_type: info.fault_type as i32,
+ };
+
+ let mut stub = self.stub.clone();
+ let response = stub.notify_fault(request).await?;
+
+ if response.into_inner().status != 0 {
+ return Err(FaultError::RemoteError(response.status));
+ }
+
+ Ok(())
+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. NodeService (timpani-o β timpani-n)
+
+**Proto Definition:**
+```protobuf
+service NodeService {
+ rpc GetSchedInfo (NodeSchedRequest) returns (NodeSchedResponse);
+ rpc SyncTimer (SyncRequest) returns (SyncResponse);
+ rpc ReportDMiss (DeadlineMissInfo) returns (NodeResponse);
+}
+
+message NodeSchedRequest {
+ string node_id = 1;
+}
+
+message NodeSchedResponse {
+ string workload_id = 1;
+ uint64 hyperperiod_us = 2;
+ repeated ScheduledTask tasks = 3;
+}
+
+message ScheduledTask {
+ string name = 1;
+ int32 sched_priority = 2;
+ int32 sched_policy = 3;
+ int32 period_us = 4;
+ int32 release_time_us = 5;
+ int32 runtime_us = 6;
+ int32 deadline_us = 7;
+ uint64 cpu_affinity = 8;
+ int32 max_dmiss = 9;
+ string assigned_node = 10;
+}
+
+message SyncRequest {
+ string node_id = 1;
+}
+
+message SyncResponse {
+ bool ack = 1;
+ int64 start_time_sec = 2;
+ int32 start_time_nsec = 3;
+}
+
+message DeadlineMissInfo {
+ string workload_id = 1;
+ string node_id = 2;
+ string task_name = 3;
+}
+
+message NodeResponse {
+ int32 status = 1;
+ string error_message = 2;
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Implementation:**
+```rust
+#[tonic::async_trait]
+impl NodeService for NodeServiceImpl {
+ async fn get_sched_info(...) -> Result, Status> {
+ let guard = self.workload_store.lock().await;
+ let ws = guard.as_ref().ok_or_else(|| Status::not_found("no workload"))?;
+
+ let tasks: Vec = ws.schedule
+ .get(&node_id)
+ .map(|v| v.iter().map(to_proto_task).collect())
+ .unwrap_or_default();
+
+ Ok(Response::new(NodeSchedResponse {
+ workload_id: ws.workload_id.clone(),
+ hyperperiod_us: ws.hyperperiod.hyperperiod_us,
+ tasks,
+ }))
+ }
+
+ async fn sync_timer(...) -> Result, Status> {
+ // Barrier synchronization logic
+ // ...
+ Ok(Response::new(SyncResponse { ack: true, start_time_sec, start_time_nsec }))
+ }
+
+ async fn report_d_miss(...) -> Result, Status> {
+ // Forward to FaultService
+ self.fault_notifier.notify_fault(fault_info).await?;
+ Ok(Response::new(NodeResponse { status: 0, error_message: String::new() }))
+ }
+}
+```

+
+## Protocol Comparison
+
+### C++ D-Bus vs Rust gRPC
+
+| Aspect | C++ D-Bus (Legacy) | Rust gRPC (New) |
+|--------|-------------------|-----------------|
+| **Transport** | TCP sockets + custom framing | HTTP/2 |
+| **Serialization** | `serialize.c` (manual) | Protocol Buffers (auto-generated) |
+| **Port** | 7777 | 50054 |
+| **API Style** | C callbacks (`extern "C"`) | Rust async trait methods |
+| **Type Safety** | Runtime (manual casts) | Compile-time (Tonic + prost) |
+| **Error Handling** | NULL return / error codes | `Result, Status>` |
+| **Debugging Tools** | None (custom protocol) | grpcurl, gRPC reflection, Wireshark |
+| **Client Code** | libtrpc (custom C library) | Tonic (official Rust framework) |
+| **Wire Format** | Binary struct layout | Protobuf encoding |
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-PROTO-001: Why Replace D-Bus with gRPC?
+
+**Technical Reasons:**
+
+1. **Standard Protocol:** gRPC is widely adopted, well-documented
+2. **Tooling:** grpcurl for CLI testing, gRPC reflection for introspection
+3. **Type Safety:** Tonic generates types from `.proto` at compile time
+4. **Async Native:** Tonic built on Tokio async runtime (better scalability)
+5. **Debugging:** Wireshark has gRPC dissectors (D-Bus was opaque binary)
+
+**Migration Cost:**
+- β **Breaking:** timpani-n must migrate from libtrpc to gRPC client
+- β
**Benefit:** Removes ~2000 lines of custom serialization code
+- β
**Benefit:** libtrpc dependency eliminated
+
+---
+
+### D-PROTO-002: Port Allocation
+
+| Service | C++ Port | Rust Port | Rationale |
+|---------|----------|-----------|-----------|
+| SchedInfoService | 50052 | 50052 | Unchanged (Pullpiri compatibility) |
+| FaultService | 50053 | 50053 | Unchanged (Pullpiri compatibility) |
+| DBusServer | 7777 | β | Removed |
+| NodeService | β | 50054 | New gRPC service |
+
+**Why 50054?**
+- Sequential from 50052, 50053
+- Configurable via `--nodeport` CLI argument
+- No conflict with legacy port 7777
+
+---
+
+### D-PROTO-003: Message Encoding
+
+**C++ D-Bus (Custom Binary):**
+```cpp
+void serialize_schedinfo_t(const schedinfo_t* info, uint8_t* buffer) {
+ memcpy(buffer, &info->hyperperiod_us, sizeof(uint64_t));
+ buffer += 8;
+ memcpy(buffer, &info->task_count, sizeof(uint32_t));
+ buffer += 4;
+ // ... manual layout
+}
+```
+
+**Rust gRPC (Protobuf):**
+```protobuf
+message NodeSchedResponse {
+ string workload_id = 1;
+ uint64 hyperperiod_us = 2;
+ repeated ScheduledTask tasks = 3;
+}
+```
+
+```rust
+// Tonic auto-generates this code:
+impl prost::Message for NodeSchedResponse {
+ fn encode(&self, buf: &mut impl prost::bytes::BufMut) {
+ // Protobuf encoding (auto-generated)
+ }
+ fn decode(buf: impl prost::bytes::Buf) -> Result {
+ // Protobuf decoding (auto-generated)
+ }
+}
+
+// Usage is transparent:
+let response = NodeSchedResponse {
+ workload_id: "wl_001".to_string(),
+ hyperperiod_us: 60_000,
+ tasks: vec![...],
+};
+// Tonic handles serialization automatically
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **No Manual Code:** Protobuf compiler generates encoding/decoding
+- **Schema Evolution:** Can add optional fields without breaking compatibility
+- **Language Agnostic:** Same `.proto` file works for C++, Rust, Python, etc.
+
+---
+
+## Wire Format Examples
+
+### AddSchedInfo Request
+
+**Protobuf Text Format:**
+```protobuf
+workload_id: "wl_automotive_001"
+tasks {
+ name: "sensor_fusion"
+ priority: 95
+ policy: 1 # FIFO
+ cpu_affinity: 12 # CPUs 2,3
+ period: 10000 # Β΅s
+ runtime: 2000
+ deadline: 10000
+ node_id: "node01"
+ max_dmiss: 3
+}
+tasks {
+ name: "lidar_processing"
+ priority: 90
+ policy: 1
+ cpu_affinity: 15 # CPUs 0,1,2,3
+ period: 20000
+ runtime: 5000
+ deadline: 20000
+ node_id: "node01"
+ max_dmiss: 2
+}
+```
+
+**Binary Wire (Hex Dump - example):**
+```
+0a 13 77 6c 5f 61 75 74 6f 6d 6f 74 69 76 65 5f ..wl_automotive_
+30 30 31 12 3e 0a 0d 73 65 6e 73 6f 72 5f 66 75 001.>..sensor_fu
+73 69 6f 6e 10 5f 18 01 20 0c 28 90 4e 30 d0 0f sion._.. .(.N0..
+... (Protobuf binary encoding)
+```
+
+---
+
+## gRPC Error Mapping
+
+### Rust β gRPC Status Codes
+
+```rust
+match scheduler.schedule(tasks, algorithm) {
+ Ok(map) => Ok(Response::new(ProtoResponse { status: 0 })),
+
+ Err(SchedulerError::NoTasks) => {
+ Err(Status::invalid_argument("no tasks provided"))
+ }
+
+ Err(SchedulerError::ConfigNotLoaded) => {
+ Err(Status::failed_precondition("node config not loaded"))
+ }
+
+ Err(SchedulerError::UnknownAlgorithm(algo)) => {
+ Err(Status::invalid_argument(format!("unknown algorithm: {}", algo)))
+ }
+
+ Err(SchedulerError::TaskRejected { task, reason }) => {
+ Err(Status::resource_exhausted(format!(
+ "task '{}' rejected: {}", task, reason
+ )))
+ }
+}
+```
+
+| SchedulerError Variant | gRPC Status Code | HTTP/2 Equivalent |
+|------------------------|------------------|-------------------|
+| `NoTasks` | `INVALID_ARGUMENT` | 400 Bad Request |
+| `ConfigNotLoaded` | `FAILED_PRECONDITION` | 400 Bad Request |
+| `UnknownAlgorithm` | `INVALID_ARGUMENT` | 400 Bad Request |
+| `TaskRejected` | `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` | 429 Too Many Requests |
+| `AdmissionRejected` | `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` | 429 Too Many Requests |
+
+---
+
+## Testing Tools
+
+### C++ D-Bus (Limited)
+
+```bash
+# No standard tools - must write custom client
+./test_dbus_client --port 7777
+```
+
+### Rust gRPC (Rich Tooling)
+
+**grpcurl (CLI testing):**
+```bash
+# List services
+grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50052 list
+
+# Call RPC
+grpcurl -plaintext -d '{
+ "workload_id": "wl_test",
+ "tasks": [
+ {"name": "task_0", "period": 10000, "runtime": 2000, ...}
+ ]
+}' localhost:50052 SchedInfoService/AddSchedInfo
+```
+
+**gRPC Reflection:**
+```rust
+// Enable in server
+tonic::transport::Server::builder()
+ .add_service(tonic_reflection::server::Builder::configure()
+ .register_encoded_file_descriptor_set(FILE_DESCRIPTOR_SET)
+ .build()?)
+ .add_service(SchedInfoServiceServer::new(sched_info_service))
+ .serve(addr)
+ .await?;
+```
+
+**Wireshark:**
+- Filter: `http2.streamid && protobuf`
+- Dissects gRPC frames automatically
+
+---
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+**timpani-n Side:**
+```cpp
+// OLD (C++ libtrpc client)
+#include "peer_dbus.h"
+schedinfo_t* info = trpc_client_schedinfo(node_id);
+
+// NEW (Rust gRPC client)
+// timpani-n will need Tonic client or C++ gRPC client
+auto channel = grpc::CreateChannel("localhost:50054", ...);
+auto stub = NodeService::NewStub(channel);
+NodeSchedRequest request;
+request.set_node_id(node_id);
+NodeSchedResponse response;
+stub->GetSchedInfo(&context, request, &response);
+```
+
+**Must Migrate Together:**
+- Rust timpani-o (NodeService server) deployed with gRPC support
+- timpani-n updated to use gRPC client (libtrpc removed)
+- Cannot mix old/new protocols
+
+---
+
+### What Stayed the Same
+
+1. **Proto Messages:** SchedInfo, TaskInfo, FaultInfo unchanged
+2. **Ports:** 50052 (SchedInfo), 50053 (Fault) unchanged
+3. **Business Logic:** Same scheduling algorithms, barrier sync
+4. **Pullpiri API:** No changes to Pullpiri's client code

+
+**Component Type:** Error Management System
+**Responsibility:** Define error types, propagation strategies, and fault recovery mechanisms
+**Status:** β
Migrated (C++ β Rust)
+
+## Component Overview
+
+Error Handling component provides structured error types, propagation mechanisms, and recovery strategies for all failure scenarios in timpani-o, including scheduling failures, resource exhaustion, RPC errors, and configuration problems.
+
+---
+
+## As-Is: C++ Implementation
+
+### Error Handling Patterns (C++)
+
+**1. Boolean Returns:**
+```cpp
+bool LoadFromFile(const std::string& path) {
+ try {
+ // ... load config
+ return true;
+ } catch (const std::exception& e) {
+ LOG_ERROR("Load failed: " << e.what());
+ return false; // Caller doesn't know why
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**2. Sentinel Values:**
+```cpp
+uint64_t CalculateHyperperiod(...) {
+ if (tasks.empty()) {
+ return 0; // Error: no tasks
+ }
+ uint64_t lcm = ...;
+ if (overflow) {
+ return 0; // Error: overflow
+ }
+ return lcm; // Success: actual value (could also be 0!)
+}
+```
+
+**3. Exceptions:**
+```cpp
+Status AddSchedInfo(...) {
+ try {
+ ProcessSchedule();
+ return Status::OK;
+ } catch (const std::exception& e) {
+ return Status(StatusCode::INTERNAL, e.what());
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**4. NULL Pointers:**
+```cpp
+const NodeConfig* GetNodeConfig(const std::string& node_id) {
+ auto it = nodes_.find(node_id);
+ if (it == nodes_.end()) {
+ return nullptr; // Not found
+ }
+ return &it->second;
+}
+```
+
+### Issues (C++)
+
+| Pattern | Problem |
+|---------|---------|
+| `bool` return | No error context, cannot distinguish failure types |
+| Sentinel `0` or `-1` | Ambiguous with valid values |
+| Exceptions | Expensive, not automotive-safe (unwinding) |
+| NULL pointers | Requires manual null checks, easy to forget |
+| Log-only errors | Caller cannot programmatically handle errors |
+
+---
+
+## Will-Be: Rust Implementation
+
+### Error Handling Philosophy (Rust)
+
+**Core Principle:** All errors are explicit, typed, and propagate via `Result`
+
+**Three Error Patterns:**
+
+1. **Domain-Specific Errors:** Custom enums with context
+2. **Generic Errors:** `anyhow::Error` for quick prototyping
+3. **RPC Errors:** `tonic::Status` for gRPC boundaries
+
+---
+
+## Error Types
+
+### 1. Scheduler Errors
+
+**File:** `timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/scheduler/error.rs`
+
+```rust
+/// Top-level scheduler failure
+#[derive(Debug, Error)]
+pub enum SchedulerError {
+ #[error("no tasks provided β task list is empty")]
+ NoTasks,
+
+ #[error("node configuration is not loaded")]
+ ConfigNotLoaded,
+
+ #[error("unknown scheduling algorithm: '{0}'")]
+ UnknownAlgorithm(String),
+
+ #[error("task '{task}' has no workload_id")]
+ MissingWorkloadId { task: String },
+
+ #[error("task '{task}' has no target_node")]
+ MissingTargetNode { task: String },
+
+ #[error("task '{task}' rejected on node '{node}': {reason}")]
+ AdmissionRejected {
+ task: String,
+ node: String,
+ reason: AdmissionReason,
+ },
+
+ #[error("no schedulable node found for task '{0}'")]
+ NoSchedulableNode(String),
+}
+
+/// Detailed reason for admission failure
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
+pub enum AdmissionReason {
+ NodeNotFound { node: String },
+
+ InsufficientMemory { required_mb: u64, available_mb: u64 },
+
+ CpuAffinityUnavailable { requested_cpu: u32 },
+
+ CpuUtilizationExceeded {
+ cpu: u32,
+ current: f64,
+ added: f64,
+ threshold: f64,
+ },
+
+ NoAvailableCpu,
+}
+
+impl std::fmt::Display for AdmissionReason {
+ fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
+ match self {
+ AdmissionReason::NodeNotFound { node } => {
+ write!(f, "node '{}' not found in configuration", node)
+ }
+ AdmissionReason::CpuUtilizationExceeded { cpu, current, added, threshold } => {
+ write!(
+ f,
+ "CPU {} utilization would be {:.1}% + {:.1}% = {:.1}% (threshold {:.0}%)",
+ cpu,
+ current * 100.0,
+ added * 100.0,
+ (current + added) * 100.0,
+ threshold * 100.0,
+ )
+ }
+ // ... other variants
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Specific Variants:** Each failure mode has a distinct type
+- **Context:** Carries exact values (CPU ID, utilization, task name)
+- **Actionable:** Caller can pattern match and handle differently
+- **Display:** Automatic human-readable error messages
+
+---
+
+### 2. Hyperperiod Errors
+
+**File:** `timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/hyperperiod/mod.rs`
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
+pub enum HyperperiodError {
+ /// No tasks with valid periods
+ NoValidPeriods,
+
+ /// LCM calculation overflowed u64
+ Overflow { a: u64, b: u64 },
+
+ /// Hyperperiod exceeded configured limit
+ TooLarge { value_us: u64, limit_us: u64 },
+}
+
+impl std::fmt::Display for HyperperiodError {
+ fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
+ match self {
+ HyperperiodError::NoValidPeriods => {
+ write!(f, "no tasks with a valid (non-zero) period")
+ }
+ HyperperiodError::Overflow { a, b } => {
+ write!(f, "LCM overflow computing lcm({a}, {b})")
+ }
+ HyperperiodError::TooLarge { value_us, limit_us } => write!(
+ f,
+ "hyperperiod {value_us}Β΅s ({:.1}s) exceeds limit {limit_us}Β΅s ({:.1}s)",
+ *value_us as f64 / 1_000_000.0,
+ *limit_us as f64 / 1_000_000.0
+ ),
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Error Display Examples:**
+```
+no tasks with a valid (non-zero) period
+
+LCM overflow computing lcm(18446744073709551615, 2)
+
+hyperperiod 7200000000Β΅s (7200.0s) exceeds limit 3600000000Β΅s (3600.0s)
+```

+
+### 3. Fault Service Errors
+
+**File:** `timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/fault/mod.rs`
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Error)]
+pub enum FaultError {
+ /// tonic channel construction failure
+ #[error("transport error: {0}")]
+ Transport(#[from] tonic::transport::Error),
+
+ /// gRPC call failed (network, server unavailable)
+ #[error("RPC status: {0}")]
+ Rpc(#[from] tonic::Status),
+
+ /// Pullpiri returned non-zero status
+ #[error("Pullpiri returned non-zero status {0}")]
+ RemoteError(i32),
+}
+```
+
+**Error Conversion:**
+```rust
+// Automatic conversion via #[from]
+async fn notify_fault(...) -> Result<(), FaultError> {
+ let channel = Endpoint::from_shared(addr)?; // transport::Error β FaultError::Transport
+ let response = stub.notify_fault(request).await?; // Status β FaultError::Rpc
+
+ if response.status != 0 {
+ return Err(FaultError::RemoteError(response.status));
+ }
+
+ Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. Configuration Errors
+
+**File:** `timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/config/mod.rs`
+
+```rust
+// Uses anyhow::Error with context
+pub fn load_from_file(&mut self, path: &Path) -> Result<()> {
+ let content = std::fs::read_to_string(path)
+ .with_context(|| format!("Cannot open configuration file: {}", path.display()))?;
+
+ let file: NodeConfigFile = serde_yaml::from_str(&content)
+ .with_context(|| format!("Failed to parse YAML file: {}", path.display()))?;
+
+ // ...
+ Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+**Error Context Chain:**
+```
+Failed to parse YAML file: /etc/timpani/nodes.yaml
+Caused by:
+ missing field `available_cpus` at line 3 column 5
+```
+
+---
+
+## As-Is vs Will-Be Comparison
+
+| Aspect | C++ (As-Is) | Rust (Will-Be) |
+|--------|-------------|----------------|
+| **Return Types** | `bool`, sentinel values, NULL | `Result` |
+| **Error Context** | Logged separately | Carried in error variant |
+| **Exceptions** | Used for unexpected failures | Not used (zero-cost abstractions) |
+| **Error Propagation** | Manual checks, early returns | `?` operator (automatic) |
+| **Type Safety** | Runtime distinction | Compile-time via enum variants |
+| **Null Checks** | Manual `if (ptr == nullptr)` | `Option` (compile-enforced) |
+| **Error Messages** | Format strings in code | `Display` trait implementation |
+| **Testability** | Hard to test error paths | Easy with `assert!(matches!(err, E::Variant))` |
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### D-ERR-001: Result vs Exceptions
+
+**C++ Exceptions:**
+```cpp
+void ProcessSchedule() {
+ if (error) {
+ throw std::runtime_error("Scheduling failed");
+ }
+}
+
+try {
+ ProcessSchedule();
+} catch (const std::exception& e) {
+ LOG_ERROR(e.what());
+ return false;
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Result:**
+```rust
+fn process_schedule(...) -> Result {
+ if error {
+ return Err(SchedulerError::AdmissionRejected { ... });
+ }
+ Ok(map)
+}
+
+match process_schedule(...) {
+ Ok(map) => { /* success */ }
+ Err(SchedulerError::AdmissionRejected { task, reason }) => {
+ error!("Task '{}' rejected: {}", task, reason);
+ return Err(Status::resource_exhausted(...));
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Why Result?**
+- **Explicit:** Compiler enforces error handling
+- **Zero-Cost:** No stack unwinding overhead
+- **Automotive-Safe:** No hidden control flow
+- **Pattern Matching:** Structured error handling
+
+---
+
+### D-ERR-002: Custom Errors vs anyhow::Error
+
+**Custom Errors (Production):**
+```rust
+pub enum SchedulerError {
+ NoTasks,
+ AdmissionRejected { task: String, reason: AdmissionReason },
+ // ... specific variants
+}
+```
+
+**anyhow::Error (Prototyping/Config):**
+```rust
+pub fn load_from_file(&mut self, path: &Path) -> Result<()> {
+ // Result<()> is shorthand for Result<(), anyhow::Error>
+ let content = std::fs::read_to_string(path)?;
+ Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+**When to Use Each:**
+
+| Use Case | Error Type | Rationale |
+|----------|------------|-----------|
+| **Scheduler logic** | `SchedulerError` enum | Need specific handling per variant |
+| **Fault reporting** | `FaultError` enum | Different recovery strategies |
+| **Config loading** | `anyhow::Error` | Generic I/O errors, context is enough |
+| **Hyperperiod** | `HyperperiodError` enum | Caller needs to know overflow vs too large |
+
+---
+
+### D-ERR-003: Error Propagation with `?` Operator
+
+**C++ Manual Propagation:**
+```cpp
+bool Outer() {
+ bool result = Inner();
+ if (!result) {
+ LOG_ERROR("Inner failed");
+ return false;
+ }
+ // ... continue
+ return true;
+}
+```
+
+**Rust `?` Operator:**
+```rust
+fn outer(...) -> Result {
+ let value = inner()?; // If Err, return immediately
+ // ... continue with value
+ Ok(result)
+}
+```
+
+**How `?` Works:**
+```rust
+// This:
+let value = inner()?;
+
+// Desugars to:
+let value = match inner() {
+ Ok(v) => v,
+ Err(e) => return Err(e.into()), // Auto-convert via From trait
+};
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Concise:** One character instead of 3-5 lines
+- **Automatic Conversion:** `E1` β `E2` if `From for E2` exists
+- **Early Return:** Exits immediately on error
+- **Type-Checked:** Compiler verifies error types match
+
+---
+
+### D-ERR-004: Option vs NULL Pointers
+
+**C++ NULL Pointer:**
+```cpp
+const NodeConfig* GetNodeConfig(const std::string& node_id) {
+ auto it = nodes_.find(node_id);
+ if (it == nodes_.end()) {
+ return nullptr;
+ }
+ return &it->second;
+}
+
+// Caller must remember to check
+const NodeConfig* config = mgr->GetNodeConfig("node01");
+if (config == nullptr) { // Easy to forget!
+ // handle error
+}
+```
+
+**Rust Option:**
+```rust
+pub fn get_node_config(&self, name: &str) -> Option<&NodeConfig> {
+ self.nodes.get(name)
+}
+
+// Compiler forces handling
+match mgr.get_node_config("node01") {
+ Some(config) => { /* use config */ }
+ None => { /* handle missing node */ }
+}
+
+// Or use ? operator
+let config = mgr.get_node_config("node01")
+ .ok_or_else(|| SchedulerError::NodeNotFound { node: "node01".to_string() })?;
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Cannot Forget:** Compiler error if `Option` not handled
+- **No Null Dereference:** Cannot access value without matching `Some`
+- **Chaining:** `.map()`, `.and_then()`, `.unwrap_or()` combinators
+
+---
+
+## Error Propagation Examples
+
+### Scheduler Error Flow
+
+```rust
+// Bottom layer: Admission control
+fn assign_task_to_node(...) -> Result<(), AdmissionReason> {
+ if utilization > threshold {
+ return Err(AdmissionReason::CpuUtilizationExceeded { cpu, current, added, threshold });
+ }
+ Ok(())
+}
+
+// Middle layer: Algorithm
+fn schedule_target_node_priority(...) -> Result<(), SchedulerError> {
+ for task in tasks {
+ assign_task_to_node(task, node)? // Propagates AdmissionReason
+ .map_err(|reason| SchedulerError::AdmissionRejected {
+ task: task.name.clone(),
+ node: node.clone(),
+ reason,
+ })?;
+ }
+ Ok(())
+}
+
+// Top layer: gRPC handler
+async fn add_sched_info(...) -> Result, Status> {
+ let map = scheduler.schedule(tasks, algorithm)
+ .map_err(|e| match e {
+ SchedulerError::NoTasks => Status::invalid_argument("no tasks"),
+ SchedulerError::AdmissionRejected { task, reason } => {
+ Status::resource_exhausted(format!("task '{}' rejected: {}", task, reason))
+ }
+ // ... map other variants
+ })?;
+
+ Ok(Response::new(ProtoResponse { status: 0 }))
+}
+```
+
+**Error Flow:**
+```
+AdmissionReason::CpuUtilizationExceeded
+ β (wrapped)
+SchedulerError::AdmissionRejected { task, node, reason }
+ β (mapped)
+tonic::Status::resource_exhausted("task 'task_0' rejected: CPU 2 utilization would be ...")
+ β (sent over gRPC)
+Pullpiri receives StatusCode 8 (RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Fault Recovery Strategies
+
+### 1. Retry Logic (Fault Client)
+
+**Pattern:** Exponential backoff for transient RPC failures
+
+```rust
+impl FaultNotifier for FaultClient {
+ async fn notify_fault(&self, info: FaultNotification) -> Result<(), FaultError> {
+ let mut retries = 0;
+ const MAX_RETRIES: u32 = 3;
+
+ loop {
+ match self.stub.clone().notify_fault(request.clone()).await {
+ Ok(response) => {
+ if response.into_inner().status != 0 {
+ return Err(FaultError::RemoteError(response.status));
+ }
+ return Ok(());
+ }
+ Err(e) if retries < MAX_RETRIES => {
+ retries += 1;
+ let delay = Duration::from_millis(100 * 2u64.pow(retries));
+ warn!("Fault notification failed (retry {}/{}), retrying in {:?}",
+ retries, MAX_RETRIES, delay);
+ tokio::time::sleep(delay).await;
+ }
+ Err(e) => return Err(FaultError::Rpc(e)),
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Graceful Degradation (Config Loading)
+
+**Pattern:** Use default config if file loading fails
+
+```rust
+let node_config_mgr = Arc::new({
+ let mut mgr = NodeConfigManager::new();
+ match mgr.load_from_file(Path::new(&args.node_config)) {
+ Ok(_) => info!("Node configuration loaded successfully"),
+ Err(e) => {
+ warn!("Failed to load config: {}. Using default configuration.", e);
+ // mgr falls back to default_node internally
+ }
+ }
+ mgr
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. Barrier Cancellation (SyncTimer)
+
+**Pattern:** Cancel pending sync when new workload arrives
+
+```rust
+// SchedInfoService: Cancel old barrier
+{
+ let mut guard = self.workload_store.lock().await;
+ if let Some(old_ws) = guard.as_ref() {
+ let _ = old_ws.barrier_tx.send(BarrierStatus::Cancelled);
+ }
+ *guard = Some(new_workload_state);
+}
+
+// NodeService: Handle cancellation
+loop {
+ match *barrier_rx.borrow_and_update() {
+ BarrierStatus::Cancelled => {
+ return Err(Status::aborted("workload was replaced"));
+ }
+ // ... other cases
+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Logging Strategy
+
+### Rust Structured Logging (`tracing` crate)
+
+**Levels:**
+- **ERROR:** Unrecoverable failures requiring intervention
+- **WARN:** Degraded operation, retries, fallbacks
+- **INFO:** Normal operation milestones
+- **DEBUG:** Detailed state for troubleshooting
+
+**Examples:**
+```rust
+// Error with context
+error!(
+ task = %task_name,
+ node = %node_id,
+ reason = %admission_reason,
+ "Task admission rejected"
+);
+
+// Warning with values
+warn!(
+ hyperperiod_us = %hp,
+ limit_us = %limit,
+ "Hyperperiod exceeds recommended limit"
+);
+
+// Info with structured fields
+info!(
+ workload_id = %workload_id,
+ task_count = tasks.len(),
+ hyperperiod_ms = hyperperiod_us / 1_000,
+ "Hyperperiod calculated"
+);
+
+// Debug with detailed state
+debug!(
+ node_id = %node_id,
+ cpu = cpu_id,
+ current_util = %util,
+ added_util = %task_util,
+ "Assigning task to CPU"
+);
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Structured:** Key-value pairs (JSON export possible)
+- **Filterable:** Can filter by field values
+- **Contextual:** Automatically includes span context
+
+---
+
+## Testing Error Paths
+
+### C++ (Difficult)
+
+```cpp
+TEST_F(SchedulerTest, TaskRejection) {
+ // Hard to trigger specific error without mocking
+ GlobalScheduler scheduler(node_config);
+ NodeSchedMap result;
+ bool success = scheduler.ProcessScheduleInfo(bad_sched_info, result);
+
+ EXPECT_FALSE(success); // Which error? Unknown!
+}
+```
+
+### Rust (Easy)
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn test_task_rejection_cpu_utilization() {
+ let config = Arc::new(NodeConfigManager::default());
+ let scheduler = GlobalScheduler::new(config);
+
+ let tasks = vec![
+ Task {
+ name: "overload".into(),
+ target_node: "node01".into(),
+ period_us: 10_000,
+ runtime_us: 9_500, // 95% utilization (exceeds 90% threshold)
+ ..Default::default()
+ },
+ ];
+
+ let result = scheduler.schedule(tasks, "target_node_priority");
+
+ // Pattern match exact error
+ assert!(matches!(
+ result,
+ Err(SchedulerError::AdmissionRejected {
+ reason: AdmissionReason::CpuUtilizationExceeded { .. },
+ ..
+ })
+ ));
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn test_hyperperiod_overflow() {
+ let mut mgr = HyperperiodManager::new();
+
+ let tasks = vec![
+ Task { period_us: u64::MAX, ..Default::default() },
+ Task { period_us: 2, ..Default::default() },
+ ];
+
+ let result = mgr.calculate_hyperperiod("wl_1", &tasks);
+
+ assert!(matches!(
+ result,
+ Err(HyperperiodError::Overflow { a: u64::MAX, b: 2 })
+ ));
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### What Changed
+
+1. **Error Returns:** `bool` β `Result`
+2. **Sentinel Values:** `0`, `-1`, `NULL` β `Option`
+3. **Exceptions:** Removed β Result-based propagation
+4. **Error Context:** Logs only β Structured error types
+5. **Propagation:** Manual checks β `?` operator
+6. **Type Safety:** Runtime β Compile-time
+
+### What Stayed the Same
+
+1. **Logging Philosophy:** Still log errors at appropriate levels
+2. **Recovery Strategies:** Retry, fallback, graceful degradation
+3. **Error Codes:** gRPC status codes map to same HTTP/2 codes

+## Key Migration Themes
+
+### 1. **Protocol Migration: D-Bus β gRPC**
+
+**Component:** [03 - D-Bus Server / NodeService](03-dbus-server-node-service.md)
+
+**Change Summary:**
+- **Legacy (C++):** D-Bus peer-to-peer over TCP (port 7777) with custom binary serialization (`libtrpc`)
+- **Migrated (Rust):** gRPC/HTTP2 (port 50054) with Protocol Buffers
+- **Impact:** Breaking change - requires timpani-n migration to gRPC client
+
+**Benefits:**
+- β
Industry-standard protocol (better tooling: grpcurl, Wireshark)
+- β
Auto-generated client/server code from `.proto` files
+- β
Eliminated ~2000 lines of custom serialization code
+- β
Type-safe at compile time via Tonic
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Error Handling: Exceptions β Result Types**
+
+**Component:** [10 - Error Handling](10-error-handling.md)
+
+**Change Summary:**
+- **Legacy (C++):** `bool` returns, sentinel values (`-1`, `NULL`), exceptions
+- **Migrated (Rust):** `Result` with structured error enums
+
+**Example:**
+```rust
+// Before (C++)
+bool CalculateHyperperiod(...) {
+ if (error) {
+ return false; // Which error? Unknown!
+ }
+}
+
+// After (Rust)
+fn calculate_hyperperiod(...) -> Result {
+ if overflow {
+ return Err(HyperperiodError::Overflow { a, b }); // Specific error with context
+ }
+ Ok(info)
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- β
Compiler-enforced error handling (cannot ignore errors)
+- β
Specific error variants with full context
+- β
Zero-cost abstractions (no exceptions, no stack unwinding)
+
+---
+
+### 3. **Type Safety: Runtime β Compile-Time**
+
+**Component:** [08 - Data Structures](08-data-structures.md)
+
+**Change Summary:**
+- **Legacy (C++):** `int policy` (0/1/2), `int assigned_cpu = -1`, dual affinity representation
+- **Migrated (Rust):** `enum SchedPolicy`, `Option`, `enum CpuAffinity`
+
+**Example:**
+```rust
+// Before (C++)
+int policy = 99; // Compiles! But invalid!
+int assigned_cpu = -1; // Magic number
+
+// After (Rust)
+pub enum SchedPolicy { Normal, Fifo, RoundRobin }
+let policy = SchedPolicy::Fifo; // Cannot create invalid policy
+
+pub assigned_cpu: Option; // Explicit: Some(2) or None
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- β
Invalid states impossible at compile time
+- β
Pattern matching ensures exhaustive handling
+- β
Self-documenting code
+
+---
+
+### 4. **Stateless Scheduler Design**
+
+**Component:** [04 - Global Scheduler](04-global-scheduler.md)
+
+**Change Summary:**
+- **Legacy (C++):** Mutable class fields, explicit `Clear()` method
+- **Migrated (Rust):** Stateless `schedule()` method, all state local
+
+**Example:**
+```rust
+// Before (C++)
+class GlobalScheduler {
+ std::vector tasks_; // Mutable state
+public:
+ void Clear() { tasks_.clear(); }
+ bool ProcessSchedule(...) { /*...*/ }
+};
+
+// After (Rust)
+impl GlobalScheduler {
+ pub fn schedule(&self, tasks: Vec, ...) -> Result {
+ // All state is local - no Clear() needed
+ let avail = self.build_available_cpus();
+ let mut util = Self::build_cpu_utilization(&avail);
+ // ... use local state
+ Ok(map)
+ } // State automatically dropped
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- β
Thread-safe by design (`&self` is immutable)
+- β
No manual cleanup needed
+- β
Concurrent calls don't interfere
+
+---
+
+### 5. **Feasibility Analysis: Added Liu & Layland Bounds**
+
+**Component:** [07 - Scheduler Utilities](07-scheduler-utilities.md)
+
+**New Feature in Rust:**
+```rust
+pub fn liu_layland_bound(n: usize) -> f64 {
+ nf * (2.0_f64.powf(1.0 / nf) - 1.0)
+}
+
+pub fn check_liu_layland(tasks_on_node: &[&Task]) -> Option {
+ let total_u: f64 = tasks.iter().map(|t| t.utilization()).sum();
+ let bound = liu_layland_bound(tasks.len());
+
+ if total_u > bound {
+ Some(total_u) // Warning - may not be schedulable
+ } else {
+ None // Provably schedulable
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Status:** Implemented and logged post-scheduling (warning only, not enforced)
+
+**Future:** Will replace hard-coded 90% threshold with dynamic bound based on task count
+
+---

+
+## gRPC Services
+
+### 1. SchedInfoService (Pullpiri β timpani-o)
+
+Defined in: `timpani_rust/timpani-o/proto/schedinfo.proto`
+
+#### SchedInfoService
+Allows orchestrators to submit workloads to timpani-o.
+
+**Methods:**
+```protobuf
+service SchedInfoService {
+ // Submit a new workload schedule
+ rpc AddSchedInfo (SchedInfo) returns (Response) {}
+}
+```
+
+**Request: SchedInfo**
+```protobuf
+message SchedInfo {
+ string workload_id = 1; // Unique workload identifier
+ repeated TaskInfo tasks = 2; // List of tasks to schedule
+}
+
+message TaskInfo {
+ string name = 1; // Task name (max 16 chars)
+ int32 priority = 2; // RT priority (1-99)
+ SchedPolicy policy = 3; // NORMAL | FIFO | RR
+ uint64 cpu_affinity = 4; // CPU bitmask
+ int32 period = 5; // Period in ΞΌs
+ int32 release_time = 6; // Release offset in ΞΌs
+ int32 runtime = 7; // WCET in ΞΌs
+ int32 deadline = 8; // Deadline in ΞΌs
+ string node_id = 9; // Target node (empty = auto)
+ int32 max_dmiss = 10; // Max consecutive deadline misses
+}
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```protobuf
+message Response {
+ int32 status = 1; // 0 = success, non-zero = error code
+}
+```
+
+#### FaultService
+Allows timpani-o to report faults back to the orchestrator.
+
+**Methods:**
+```protobuf
+service FaultService {
+ // Report a fault (e.g., deadline miss)
+ rpc NotifyFault (FaultInfo) returns (Response) {}
+}
+```
+
+**Request: FaultInfo**
+```protobuf
+message FaultInfo {
+ string workload_id = 1; // Workload where fault occurred
+ string node_id = 2; // Node reporting the fault
+ string task_name = 3; // Task that faulted
+ FaultType type = 4; // UNKNOWN | DMISS
+}
+
+enum FaultType {
+ UNKNOWN = 0;
+ DMISS = 1; // Deadline miss
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. NodeService (timpani-o β timpani-n)
+
+Defined in: `timpani_rust/timpani-n/proto/node_service.proto`
+
+**Methods:**
+```protobuf
+service NodeService {
+ // Retrieve schedule for this node
+ rpc GetSchedInfo (NodeSchedRequest) returns (NodeSchedResponse) {}
+
+ // Synchronize start time across all nodes (barrier)
+ rpc SyncTimer (SyncRequest) returns (SyncResponse) {}
+
+ // Report a deadline miss
+ rpc ReportDMiss (DeadlineMissInfo) returns (NodeResponse) {}
+}
+```
+
+#### GetSchedInfo
+timpani-n calls this at startup to retrieve its task schedule.
+
+**Request: NodeSchedRequest**
+```protobuf
+message NodeSchedRequest {
+ string node_id = 1; // Node identifier from config
+}
+```
+
+**Response: NodeSchedResponse**
+```protobuf
+message NodeSchedResponse {
+ string workload_id = 1; // Active workload ID
+ uint64 hyperperiod_us = 2; // Hyperperiod (LCM of all periods)
+ repeated ScheduledTask tasks = 3; // Tasks assigned to this node
+}
+
+message ScheduledTask {
+ string name = 1; // Task name
+ int32 sched_priority = 2; // RT priority (1-99)
+ int32 sched_policy = 3; // 0=NORMAL, 1=FIFO, 2=RR
+ int32 period_us = 4; // Period in ΞΌs
+ int32 release_time_us = 5; // Release offset in ΞΌs
+ int32 runtime_us = 6; // WCET in ΞΌs
+ int32 deadline_us = 7; // Relative deadline in ΞΌs
+ uint64 cpu_affinity = 8; // CPU bitmask
+ int32 max_dmiss = 9; // Max consecutive misses
+ string assigned_node = 10; // Assigned node ID
+}
+```
+
+#### SyncTimer
+Synchronization barrier. All active nodes call this; server responds when all have checked in.
+
+**Request: SyncRequest**
+```protobuf
+message SyncRequest {
+ string node_id = 1; // Node declaring readiness
+}
+```
+
+**Response: SyncResponse**
+```protobuf
+message SyncResponse {
+ bool ack = 1; // true = barrier released
+ int64 start_time_sec = 2; // Absolute start time (seconds)
+ int64 start_time_nsec = 3; // Nanoseconds component
+}
+```
+
+**Behavior:**
+- **Blocking:** Call blocks until all active nodes have called `SyncTimer`
+- **Late joiner:** If barrier already fired, returns past `start_time` immediately
+- **Workload change:** Returns `ABORTED` if workload replaced while waiting
+
+#### ReportDMiss
+timpani-n reports deadline misses via this non-blocking call.
+
+**Request: DeadlineMissInfo**
+```protobuf
+message DeadlineMissInfo {
+ string node_id = 1; // Reporting node
+ string task_name = 2; // Task that missed deadline
+}
+```
+
+**Response: NodeResponse**
+```protobuf
+message NodeResponse {
+ int32 status = 1; // 0 = success
+}
+```

+## timpani-o Public API
+
+### GlobalScheduler
+
+**Module:** `timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/scheduler/`
+
+**Purpose:** Distributes real-time tasks across compute nodes.
+
+#### Algorithms
+
+| Algorithm | Description | Use Case |
+|-----------|-------------|----------|
+| `node_priority` | Assigns tasks to a specific target node first, then spreads overflow | Single-node preference |
+| `task_priority` | Greedy scheduling by task priority | Mixed-criticality |
+| `best_fit` | Assigns tasks to node with least remaining capacity | Load balancing |
+
+#### Usage
+
+```rust
+use timpani_o::scheduler::GlobalScheduler;
+use timpani_o::task::Task;
+use std::sync::Arc;
+
+// Initialize with node configuration
+let scheduler = GlobalScheduler::new(Arc::new(node_config_mgr));
+
+// Schedule tasks
+let result = scheduler.schedule(tasks, "node_priority")?;
+// Returns: NodeSchedMap (BTreeMap>)
+```
+
+#### Error Types
+
+```rust
+pub enum SchedulerError {
+ NoNodes, // No nodes available
+ InsufficientCpus, // Not enough CPUs for task
+ OverUtilization(String), // CPU util > 90%
+ FeasibilityWarning(String), // Liu & Layland bound exceeded
+}
+```
+
+### HyperperiodCalculator
+
+**Module:** `timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/hyperperiod/`
+
+**Purpose:** Computes LCM of task periods and handles GCD-based optimizations.
+
+#### Usage
+
+```rust
+use timpani_o::hyperperiod::HyperperiodInfo;
+
+let hp_info = HyperperiodInfo::calculate(&tasks)?;
+println!("Hyperperiod: {} ΞΌs", hp_info.hyperperiod_us());
+```
+
+### Configuration Management
+
+**Module:** `timpani_rust/timpani-o/src/config/`
+
+**Purpose:** Loads `node_configurations.yaml`.
+
+#### Example Config
+
+```yaml
+nodes:
+ node1:
+ cpus: 4
+ cpu_ids: [0, 1, 2, 3]
+ node2:
+ cpus: 8
+ cpu_ids: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
+```
+
+#### Usage
+
+```rust
+use timpani_o::config::NodeConfigManager;
+
+let mgr = NodeConfigManager::from_file("node_configurations.yaml")?;
+let node_info = mgr.get_node("node1").unwrap();
+println!("Node has {} CPUs", node_info.cpus);
+```
+
+---
+
+## timpani-n Public API
+
+### NodeClient (gRPC Client)
+
+**Module:** `timpani_rust/timpani-n/src/grpc/`
+
+**Purpose:** gRPC client for communicating with timpani-o.
+
+#### Methods
+
+```rust
+impl NodeClient {
+ // Connect to timpani-o (with retry)
+ pub async fn connect(uri: &str, node_id: &str) -> TimpaniResult;
+
+ // Fetch schedule at startup
+ pub async fn get_sched_info(&self) -> TimpaniResult;
+
+ // Sync barrier (blocks until all nodes ready)
+ pub async fn sync_timer(&self) -> TimpaniResult;
+
+ // Report deadline miss (non-blocking, queued)
+ pub fn report_dmiss(&self, task_name: &str) -> TimpaniResult<()>;
+}
+```
+
+**Key Design Decisions:**
+
+- **D-N-001:** Use `nix` crate over raw libc FFI for type-safe POSIX syscalls
+ - Returns typed `Errno` instead of raw -1/errno pairs
+ - Linux-specific constraints encoded in type system (e.g., `sched::Policy`, `Signal` enums)
+ - Memory-safe with no raw pointer passing
+ - Exception: `libc` kept for `SIGRTMIN()` (dynamic value not exposed by nix)
+
+- **D-N-002:** Use `procfs` crate over manual /proc parsing
+ - Handles TOCTOU races gracefully (process may disappear mid-scan)
+ - Strongly-typed structs for `/proc//stat` and `/proc//status`
+ - Lazy iterator for memory-efficient process table scanning
+
+- **D-N-003:** Use `libbpf-rs` for eBPF integration
+ - Official Rust binding maintained by kernel BPF maintainers
+ - Type-safe Rust skeletons generated from `.bpf.c` at build time via `libbpf-cargo`
+ - Bundles own libbpf via `libbpf-sys` (no version conflict with `/libbpf` git submodule)
+
+- **D-N-004:** Connection retry count is runtime configurable (not compile-time constant)
+ - Deployment flexibility: staging nodes may need different timeout than production
+ - Configured via `Config::max_retries` field
+
+- **D-N-005:** Shutdown signal handling with `CancellationToken`
+ - Uses `tokio_util::sync::CancellationToken` for structured shutdown propagation
+ - Signals all async worker tasks (timer loops, BPF poll thread, watchdog)
+ - Handles SIGINT/SIGTERM gracefully without missed-signal windows
+
+- **D-N-006:** Use raw libc for `sched_setscheduler` (not nix wrapper)
+ - nix 0.29 does not wrap `sched_setscheduler`, `pidfd_open`, or `pidfd_send_signal`
+ - Direct libc calls necessary until nix adds support
+ - Still type-safe via internal `SchedPolicy` enum and priority validation (0-99)
+
+- **D-N-007:** Single client instance for process lifetime
+ - timpani-n is pure client (never hosts gRPC server)
+ - Avoids connection overhead and resource leaks
+
+- **D-N-008:** Auto-retry with 1s interval on connection failure
+ - Handles transient network issues during startup
+ - Prevents tight retry loops that waste CPU
+ - `RETRY_INTERVAL_MS = 1000`
+
+- **D-N-009:** `report_dmiss` uses 64-entry MPSC queue to avoid RT loop blocking
+ - RT loop never blocks on network I/O (~10ns enqueue time)
+ - Queue depth calculation: 5ms miss interval + 1ms round-trip = ~5 steady-state depth
+ - 64 entries absorbs ~64ms worth of misses before backpressure
+ - Background worker drains queue serially (prevents thundering herd on reconnect)
+ - Backpressure: drops notification with warning log if queue full
+
+### Scheduler
+
+**Module:** `timpani_rust/timpani-n/src/sched/`
+
+**Purpose:** Applies Linux scheduling policies via `sched_setscheduler` and `sched_setaffinity`.
+
+#### Supported Policies
+
+- `SCHED_NORMAL` (SCHED_OTHER)
+- `SCHED_FIFO` (real-time, fixed priority)
+- `SCHED_RR` (real-time, round-robin)
+- `SCHED_DEADLINE` (EDF, requires runtime/deadline/period)
+
+#### Usage
+
+```rust
+use timpani_n::sched::apply_sched_params;
+
+apply_sched_params(
+ pid,
+ sched_policy,
+ sched_priority,
+ cpu_affinity,
+ runtime_us,
+ deadline_us,
+ period_us
+)?;
+```
+
+### BPF Integration
+
+**Module:** `timpani_rust/timpani-n/src/bpf/`
+
+**Feature Flag:** `bpf` (enabled by default)
+
+**Purpose:** eBPF-based deadline miss detection via `sigwait.bpf.c`.
+
+#### Build Flags
+
+```bash
+# Enable BPF (default)
+cargo build
+
+# Disable BPF
+cargo build --no-default-features
+
+# Enable plot generation (schedstat eBPF events)
+cargo build --features plot
+```
+
+---
+

## Notes
-- All legacy C/C++ code, documentation, and sample applications will remain for reference and backward compatibility.
-- Only the `timpani_rust` folder will be actively developed and maintained going forward.
+- **Legacy code** (timpani-n/, timpani-o/, libtrpc/) remains for reference and backward compatibility
+- **Active development** occurs exclusively in `timpani_rust/`
+- **Documentation** follows architecture β LLD β implementation flow
+- **Build system** uses Cargo workspace for Rust components, CMake for legacy C/C++
+- **Testing** includes both unit tests (Rust) and integration tests (test-tools/)
