Partial Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis
Résumé
Computing the worst-case execution time (WCET) of tasks is important for real-time system design. The industry and research communities have developed a wealth of techniques to compute relevant WCET approximations. Traditionally, WCETs are estimated at the granularity of a function (or task). We propose an approach to estimate partial WCET (pWCET), i.e., the worst-case execution time between two locations in a function, such as basic blocks or instructions. Our technique is derived from the well-known implicit path enumeration technique. It takes into account both the control flow graph and the architecture (pipeline and cache hierarchy). Some useful applications of such pWCETs are motivated in this paper.
