Related Work in Timing Analysis for Embedded Software

Abstract

The importance and the challenges in extreme case timing analysis of embedded software have been recognized by many researchers. Numerous analysis techniques have been proposed to solve the issues in program path analysis and microarchitecture modeling. Many of them evaluate the estimated worst case execution time (WCET) of a given program. However, as the worst case timing analysis is very similar to the best case timing analysis, the proposed analysis techniques can be easily modified to determine the estimated best case execution time (BCET).
