While caches have become invaluable for higher-end architectures due to their ability to hide, in part, the gap between processor speed and memory access times, caches (and partic...
Multi-core chips have been increasingly adopted by microprocessor industry. For real-time systems to safely harness the potential of multi-core computing, designers must be able t...
Most recent embedded systems use caches to improve their average performance. Current timing analyses are able to compute safe timing guarantees for these systems, if tasks are ru...
—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 describes techniques to estimate the worst case execution time of executable code on architectures with data caches. The underlying mechanism is Abstract Interpretation...
