Safety-criticalembeddedsystems having to meet real-time constraints are to be highlypredictable in order to guarantee at design time that certain timing deadlines will always be m...
The present paper investigates the influence of the execution history on the precision of measurementbased execution time estimates for embedded software. A new approach to timing...
This paper deals with the self-stabilizing leader election algorithm of Xu and Srimani [10] that finds a leader in a tree graph. The worst case execution time for this algorithm ...
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...
In this paper we present a technique for Worst-Case Execution Time WCET analysis for pipelined processors. Our technique uses a standard simulator instead of special-purpose pipel...
