For real time systems not only the logical function is important but also the timing behavior,
ie hard real time systems must react inside their deadlines. To guarantee this it is necessary
to know upper bounds for the worst case execution times (WOETs). The accuracy of the
prediction of WOETs depends strongly on the ability to model the features of the target
processor. Cache memories, pipelines and parallel functional units are microarchitectural
components which are responsible for the speed gain of modern processors. It is not trivial …
