The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
Meeting deadlines is a key requirement in safe realtime systems. Worst-case execution times (WCET) of tasks are needed for safe planning. Contemporary worst-case timing analysis t...
Virtual machines offer the ability to partition the resources of a physical system and to create isolated execution environments. The development of virtual machines is a very ch...

Effective system verification requires good specifications. The lack of sufficient specifications can lead to misses of critical bugs, design re-spins, and time-to-market slips. I...
Predicting timing behavior is key to efficient embedded real-time system design and verification. Especially memory accesses and co-processor calls over shared communication net...
