Static timing analysis of embedded software on advanced processor architectures
André Hergenhan, Wolfgang Rosenstiel · 2000
This paper examines several techniques for static tim-ing analysis. In detail, the first part of the paper analyzes the connection of prediction accuracy (worst case execution time) and applicability of a methodology for modeling and analysis of instruction as well as data cache behavior. The second part of the paper proposes a timing analysis tech-nique for super-scalar processors. The objects of our stud-ies are two processors of the PowerPC family, in particular the PPC403 and the MPC750. 1.
