This paper presents a general framework for analyzing and designing embedded systems with energy and timing requirements. A set of realistic assumptions is considered in the model...
Branch prediction mechanisms are becoming commonplace within current generation processors. Dynamic branch predictors, albeit able to predict branches quite accurately in average,...
Multiprocessor hardware platforms are now being considered for embedded systems, due to their high computational power and little additional cost when compared to single processor...
Embedded systems are usually an integral component of a larger system and are used to control and/or directly monitor this system by using special hardware devices. The complexity...
In previous work, we presented a tight approximate response-time analysis for tasks with offsets. While providing a tight bound on response times, the tight analysis exhibits simi...
