Time-Predictable Task Preemption for Real-Time Systems with Direct-Mapped Instruction Cache
Modern processors used in embedded systems are becoming increasingly powerful, having features like caches and pipelines to speedup execution. While execution speed of embedded so...

Compile-time decided instruction cache locking using worst-case execution paths
Caches are notorious for their unpredictability. It is difficult or even impossible to predict if a memory access results in a definite cache hit or miss. This unpredictability i...

Instruction Cache Energy Saving Through Compiler Way-Placement
Fetching instructions from a set-associative cache in an embedded processor can consume a large amount of energy due to the tag checks performed. Recent proposals to address this ...

Cache Contents Selection for Statically-Locked Instruction Caches: An Algorithm Comparison
Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...
