Timing anomalies in dynamically scheduled microprocessors

T Lundqvist, P Stenstrom - Proceedings 20th IEEE Real-Time …, 1999 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Previous timing analysis methods have assumed that the worst-case instruction execution
time necessarily corresponds to the worst-case behavior. We show that this assumption is …

Fast and precise WCET prediction by separated cache and path analyses

H Theiling, C Ferdinand, R Wilhelm - Real-Time Systems, 2000 - Springer
Precise run-time prediction suffers from a complexity problem when doing an integrated
analysis. This problem is characterised by the conflict between an optimal solution and the …

Efficient and precise cache behavior prediction for real-time systems

C Ferdinand, R Wilhelm - Real-time systems, 1999 - Springer
Abstract interpretation is a technique for the static detection of dynamic properties of
programs. It is semantics based, that is, it computes approximative properties of the …

Achieving non-inclusive cache performance with inclusive caches: Temporal locality aware (TLA) cache management policies

A Jaleel, E Borch, M Bhandaru… - 2010 43rd Annual …, 2010 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Inclusive caches are commonly used by processors to simplify cache coherence. However,
the trade-off has been lower performance compared to non-inclusive and exclusive caches …

WCET analysis for multi-core processors with shared L2 instruction caches

J Yan, W Zhang - 2008 IEEE Real-Time and Embedded …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Multi-core chips have been increasingly adopted by microprocessor industry. For real-time

Complete worst-case execution time analysis of straight-line hard real-time programs

F Stappert, P Altenbernd - Journal of Systems Architecture, 2000 - Elsevier
In this article, the problem of finding a tight estimate on the worst-case execution time
(WCET) of a hard real-time program is addressed. The analysis is focused on straight-line …
