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...
Static timing analysis of embedded software is important for systems with hard real-time constraints. To accurately estimate time bounds, it is essential to model the underlying m...
Reliable program Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) estimates are a key component when designing and verifying real-time systems. One way to derive such estimates is by static WCET ...
The Worst-Case Execution-Time Analysis (WCET Analysis) of program code that is to be executed on modern processors is a highly complex task. First, it involves path analysis, to i...
A popular approach to guarantee fault tolerance in safety-critical applications is to run the application on two processors. A checkpoint is inserted at the completion of the prim...
