This paper describes techniques to estimate the worst case execution time of executable code on architectures with data caches. The underlying mechanism is Abstract Interpretation...
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...
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...
The control system of many complex mechatronic products requires for each task the Worst Case Execution Time (WCET), which is needed for the scheduler's admission tests and su...
The purpose of this paper is to introduce frameworks based on data-flow equations which provide for estimating the worst-case execution time (WCET) of (real-time) programs. These f...
