pWCET: a Tool for Probabilistic Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis of Real-Time Systems
Guillem Bernat, Antoine Colin, Stefan M. Petters · 2003
Abstract This paper describes the tool support for a framework for performing probabilistic worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis for embedded real-time systems. The tool is based on a combination of measurement and static analysis, all in a probabilistic framework. Measurement is used to determine execution traces and static analysis to construct the worst path and effectively providing an upper bound on the worst-case execution time of a program. The paper illustrates the theoretical framework and the components of the tool together with a case study.
