Without the use of caches the increasing gap between processor and memory speeds in
modern embedded microprocessors would have resulted in memory access times becoming …

Embedded systems with hard real-time constraints need sound timing-analysis methods for
proving that these constraints are satisfied. Computer architects have made this task harder …

Real-time systems are reactive computer systems that must produce their reaction to a
stimulus within given time bounds. A vital verification requirement is to estimate the Worst …

In hard real-time systems, cache partitioning is often suggested as a means of increasing the
predictability of caches in pre-emptively scheduled systems: when a task is assigned its own …

Tasks in an embedded system are scheduled either preemptively or non-preemptively. In
case of preemptive scheduling, interferences on the cache of the preempted and preempting …

In preemptive real-time systems, scheduling analyses need-in addition to the worst-case
execution time-the context-switch cost. In case of preemption, the preempted and the …

predictability of caches in pre-emptively scheduled systems: when a task is assigned its own …

The worst-case response time (WCRT)–the time span from release to completion of a real-
time task–is a crucial property of real-time systems. However, WCRT analysis is complex in …

In order to meet performance/low energy/integration requirements, parallel architectures
(multithreaded cores and multi-cores) are more and more considered in the design of …
