Abstract
Many embedded control applications have real-time requirements. If the application is safety-relevant, worst-case execution time bounds have to be determined in order to demonstrate deadline adherence. For high-performance multi-core architectures with degraded timing predictability, WCET bounds can be computed by hybrid WCET analysis which combines static analysis with timing measurements. This article focuses on a novel tool for hybrid WCET analysis based on non-intrusive instruction-level real-time tracing.
