Towards a Time-predictable Dual-Issue Microprocessor: The Patmos Approach
Current processors are optimized for average case performance, often leading to a high worst-case execution time (WCET). Many architectural features that increase the average case...

An Overview of Approaches Towards the Timing Analysability of Parallel Architecture
In order to meet performance/low energy/integration requirements, parallel architectures (multithreaded cores and multi-cores) are more and more considered in the design of embedd...

Precise Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis for Processors with Timing Anomalies
This paper explores timing anomalies in WCET analysis. Timing anomalies add to the complexity of WCET analysis and make it hard to apply divide-and-conquer strategies to simplify ...

Modeling out-of-order processors for WCET analysis
Estimating the Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) of a program on a given processor is important for the schedulability analysis of real-time systems. WCET analysis techniques typic...

Automatic Amortised Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis
Our research focuses on formally bounded WCET analysis, where we aim to provide absolute guarantees on execution time bounds. In this paper, we describe how amortisation can be us...

Traces as a Solution to Pessimism and Modeling Costs in WCET Analysis
WCET analysis models for superscalar out-of-order CPUs generally need to be pessimistic in order to account for a wide range of possible dynamic behavior. CPU hardware modificatio...
