A large part of safety-critical embedded systems has to satisfy hard real-time constraints. These need sound methods and tools to derive reliable run-time guarantees. The guarante...
The identification of speedpaths is required for post-silicon (PS) timing validation, and it is currently becoming timeconsuming due to manufacturing variations. In this paper we...
—One step in the verification of hard real-time systems is to determine upper bounds on the worst-case execution times (WCET) of tasks. To obtain tight bounds, a WCET analysis h...
This paper presents a Java processor, called JOP, designed for time-predictable execution of real-time tasks. JOP is the implementation of the Java virtual machine in hardware. We...
—Static cache analysis for data allocated on the heap is practically impossible for standard data caches. We propose a distinct object cache for heap allocated data. The cache is...
