Bounding the Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) of programs is essential for real-time systems. To be able to do WCET calculations, the iteration bounds for loops and recursion must...
We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Our method is a worst-case design scheme, but it reduces the pessimism involved i...

Real-Time embedded systems must enforce strict timing constraints. In this context, achieving precise Worst Case Execution Time is a prerequisite to apply scheduling analysis and ...
We have developed a new programming paradigm which, for conforming programs, allows the averagecase execution time (ACET) to be obtained automatically by a static analysis. This i...

Cache memories are mandatory to bridge the growing gap between CPU speed and main memory access time. Standard cache organizations improve the average execution time but are diffi...
