Conditional branches connect the values of program variables with the execution paths and thus with the execution times, including the worstcase execution time (WCET). Flow analys...
Calculating the worst-case execution time (WCET) of real-time tasks is still a tedious job. Programmers are required to provide additional information on the program flow, analyzi...
Execution and communication traces are central to performance modeling and analysis. Since the traces can be very long, meaningful compression and extraction of representative beha...
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...
At very high frequencies, the major potential of asynchronous circuits is absence of clock skew and, through that, better exploitation of relative timing relations. This paper pre...
