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...
Functional correctness is a vital attribute of any hardware design. Unfortunately, due to extremely complex architectures, widespread components, such as microprocessors, are often...
Power density continues to increase exponentially with each new technology generation, posing a major challenge for thermal management in modern processors. Much past work has exa...
Energy efficiency is rapidly becoming a first class optimization parameter for modern systems. Caches are critical to the overall performance and thus, modern processors (both hig...
Recent progress in worst case timing analysis of programs has made it possible to perform accurate timing analysis of pipelined execution and instruction caching, which is necessa...
