In this article, the problem of finding a tight estimate on the worst-case execution time (WCET) of a real-time program is addressed. The analysis is focused on straight-line code...
Highly aggressive multi-issue processor designs of the past few years and projections for the next decade require that we redesign the operation of the cache memory system. The nu...
