Caches have become increasingly important with the widening gap between main memory and processor speeds. However, they are a source of unpredictability due to their characteristi...
The integration phase of real-time COTS-based systems is often problematic because when multiple tasks run concurrently, the interference at the bus level between cache fetching a...
The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the average memory access latency. Improving the cache hit rate can have significant positive impact on the per...
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 analysis of real-time properties of an embedded system usually relies on the worst-case execution times (WCET) of the tasks to be executed. In contrast to that, in real world ...
