Multi-core architectures are shaking the fundamental assumption that in real-time systems
the WCET, used to analyze the schedulability of the complete system, is calculated on …

Many modern multi-core processors sport a large shared cache with the primary goal of
enhancing the statistic performance of computing workloads. However, due to resulting …

Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed
processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability …

Multicore architectures, which have multiple processing units on a single chip, have been
adopted by most chip manufacturers. Most such chips contain on-chip caches that are …

In multiprocessor systems, the traffic on the bus does not solely originate from data transfers
due to data dependencies between tasks, but is also affected by memory transfers as result …

Worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis and, in general, the predictability of real-time
applications implemented on multiprocessor systems has been addressed only in very …

In this paper, we show that cache partitioning does not necessarily ensure predictable cache
performance in modern COTS multicore platforms that use non-blocking caches to exploit …

The major obstacle to use multicores for real-time applications is that we may not predict and
provide any guarantee on real-time properties of embedded software on such platforms; the …

Multicore architectures, which have multiple processing units on a single chip, have been
adopted by most chip manufacturers. Most such chips contain on-chip caches that are …

Predicting timing behavior is key to reliable real-time system design and verification, but
becomes increasingly difficult for current multiprocessor systems on chip. The integration of …
