Abstract
Systems and methods for outlier mitigation in safety-critical systems are provided. In one embodiment, a computer system comprises: a processor comprising one or more processing cores; a scheduling function that schedules the execution of applications, the applications each comprise threads; a contingency budgeting manager (CBM) that defines at least a first pre-determined set of threads from the threads of the applications and assigns a contingency budget pool to the first set of threads. The first set of threads are each scheduled by the scheduling function to execute on a first processing core. The CBM is further configured to monitor execution of each of the threads of the first set of threads to identify when a first thread is an execution time outlier. When the CBM determines that the first thread is an execution time outlier, it allocates additional thread execution time from the contingency budget pool to the first thread.
