  In this paper, using of automotive use cases as benchmarks for real-time
system design has been proposed. The use cases are described in a format
supported by AMALTHEA platform, which is a model based open source development
environment for automotive multi-core systems. An example of a simple
Electronic Control Unit has been analysed and presented with enough details to
reconstruct this system in any format. For researchers willing to use AMALTHEA
file format directly, an appropriate parser has been developed and offered. An
example of applying this parser and benchmark for optimising makespan while not
violating the timing constraints by allocating functionality to different
Network on Chip resource is demonstrated.
