Evaluation of a method for identifying timing modelsKahsu, Lidia January 2012 (has links)
In today’s world, embedded systems which have very large and highly configurable software systems, consisting of hundreds of tasks with huge lines of code and mostly with real-time constraints, has replaced the traditional systems. Generally in real-time systems, the WCET of a program is a crucial component, which is the longest execution time of a specified task. WCET is determined by WCET analysis techniques and the values produced should be tight and safe to ensure the proper timing behavior of a real-time system. Static WCET is one of the techniques to compute the upper bounds of the execution time of programs, without actually executing the programs but relying on mathematical models of the software and the hardware involved. Mathematical models can be used to generate timing estimations on source code level when the hardware is not yet fully accessible or the code is not yet ready to compile. In this thesis, the methods used to build timing models developed by WCET group in MDH have been assessed by evaluating the accuracy of the resulting timing models for a number of combinations of hardware architecture. Furthermore, the timing model identification is extended for various hardware platforms, like advanced architecture with cache and pipeline and also included floating-point instructions by selecting benchmarks that uses floating-points as well.
