Abstract : Multi-core chips have been increasingly adopted by the microprocessor industry. For real-time systems to exploit multi-core architectures, it is required to obtain both tight and safe estimates of worst-case execution times (WCETs). Estimating WCETs for multi-core platforms is very challenging because of the possible interferences between cores due to shared hardware resources such as shared caches, memory bus, etc. This paper proposes a compile-time approach to reduce shared instruction cache interferences between cores to tighten WCET estimations. Unlike [J. Yan and W. Zhang 08], which accounts for all possible conflicts caused by tasks running on the other cores when estimating the WCET of a task, our approach drastically reduces the amount of inter-core interferences. This is done by controlling the contents of the shared instruction cache(s), by caching only blocks statically known as reused. Experimental results demonstrate the practicality of our approach.
