Real-time systems design involves many important choices, including that of the processor. The fastest processors achieve performance by utilizing architectural features that make...
Accurate estimation of the tick length of a synchronous program is essential for efficient and predictable implementations that are devoid of timing faults. The techniques to dete...

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 paper presents a software architecture for Distributed Timed Multitasking - a new model of computation that can be used to engineer open, and the same time, predictable emb...
Branch prediction mechanisms are becoming commonplace within current generation processors. Dynamic branch predictors, albeit able to predict branches quite accurately in average,...
