Instruction scratchpads have been previously suggested as a way to reduce the worst case execution time (WCET) of hard real-time programs without introducing the analysis issues p...
We present a technique to approximate the worst-case execution time that combines structural analysis with a loop-bounding algorithm based on local induction variable analysis. St...
Static path analysis is a key process of Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) estimation, the objective of which is to find the execution path that has the largest execution time. Cur...

Certainly, in hard real-time systems, it is reasonable to argue that no hard real-time threads should behave in an unpredictable way and that schedulability should be guaranteed b...

This paper presents a quantification of the timing effects that advanced processor features like data and instruction cache, pipelines, branch prediction units and out-oforder ex...
