Data cache locking for higher program predictability
Caches have become increasingly important with the widening gap between main memory and processor speeds. However, they are a source of unpredictability due to their characteristi...

Data Caches in Multitasking Hard Real-Time Systems
Data caches are essential in modern processors, bridging the widening gap between main memory and processor speeds. However, they yield very complex performance models, which make...

Compile-time decided instruction cache locking using worst-case execution paths
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...

WCET-centric partial instruction cache locking
Caches play an important role in embedded systems by bridging the performance gap between high speed processors and slow memory. At the same time, caches introduce imprecision in ...

Hierarchical Backoff Locks for Nonuniform Communication Architectures
This paper identifies node affinity as an important property for scalable general-purpose locks. Nonuniform communication architectures (NUCAs), for example CCNUMAs built from a f...
