Traditional approaches for worst case execution time (WCET) analysis produce values
which are very pessimistic if applied to modern processors. In addition, end to end …

Embedded hard real-time systems need reliable guarantees for the satisfaction of their
timing constraints. Experience with the use of static timing-analysis methods and the tools …

This paper describes the tool support for a framework for performing probabilistic worst-case
execution time (WCET) analysis for embedded real-time systems. The tool is based on a …

This paper considers the use of Extreme Value Theory (EVT) to model worst-case execution
times. In particular it considers the sacrifice that statistical methods make in the realism of …

Hard real-time systems have to satisfy strict timing constraints. To prove that these
constraints are met, timing analyses aim to derive safe upper bounds on tasks' execution …

This paper introduces a set of design principles that aim to make processor architectures
amenable to static timing analysis. Based on these principles, we give a design of a hard …

This paper investigates how dynamic branch prediction in a microprocessor affects the
predictability of execution time for software running on that processor. By means of …

Recent work on a measurement based worst case execution time estimation method uses
observations of small units of the program. These observations are called execution traces …

The sensitivity of a cache replacement policy expresses to what extent the execution history
may influence the number of cache hits and misses during program execution. We present …

Motion planning is the problem of finding a continuous collision free path from an initial
configuration (or state) to a goal. On board an autonomous vehicle, the capability to prevent …
