This paper investigates how dynamic branch prediction in a microprocessor affects the predictability of execution time for software running on that processor. By means of experim...
This paper presents the influence of the loop nest splitting source code optimization on the worst-case execution time (WCET). Loop nest splitting minimizes the number of executed...
Sensor networks face a number of challenges when deployed in unpredictable environments under dynamic, quickly changeable demands, and when shared by many partners, which is often...

Schedulability analysis of real-time embedded systems requires worst case timing guarantees of embedded software performance. This involves not only language level program analysi...
Caches are notorious for their unpredictability. It is difficult or even impossible to predict if a memory access results in a definite cache hit or miss. This unpredictability i...
