The study of parallel task models executed with predictable scheduling approaches is a
fundamental problem for real-time multiprocessor systems. Nevertheless, to date, limited …

Estimation of worst-case execution times (WCETs) is required to validate the temporal
behavior of hard real time systems. Heptane is an open-source software program that …

For hard-real time systems, cache memory increases execution time variability, increasing
the complexity of timing analysis. As such, cache memory is often treated exclusively as a …

Memory bus contention strongly relates to the number of main memory requests generated
by tasks running on different cores of a multicore platform, which, in turn, depends on the …

The 3-phase task execution model has shown to be a good candidate to tackle the memory
bus contention problem. It divides the execution of tasks into computation and memory …

Schedulability analysis for tasks running on micro-processors with cache memory is
incomplete without a treatment of Cache Related Preemption Delays (CRPD) and Cache …

Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) multicore processors have become a preferable choice for
modern systems to meet the increasing functionalities and computational demand of modern …

Schedulability analyses for preemptive real-time systems need to take into account cache-
related preemption delays (CRPD) caused by preemptions between the tasks. The …

Efficient computer simulation of complex physical phenomena has long been challenging
due to their multi-physics and multi-scale nature. In contrast to traditional time-stepped …

Tasks running on microprocessors with cache memories are often subjected to cache
related preemption delays (CRPDs). CRPDs may significantly increase task execution times …
