WCET driven design space exploration of an object cache
Benedikt Huber, Wolfgang Puffitsch, Martin Schoeberl · 2010
In order to guarantee that real-time systems meet their timing specification, static execution time bounds need to be calculated. Not considering execution time predictability led to architectures which perform well in the average case, but require very pessimistic assumptions when bounding the worst-case execution time (WCET).
