Improving WCET Evaluation using Linear Relation Analysis

Authors: Pascal Raymond, Claire Maiza, Catherine Parent-Vigouroux, Erwan Jahier, Nicolas Halbwachs, Fabienne Carrier, Mihail Asavoae, and Rémy Boutonnet

Abstract
The precision of a worst case execution time (WCET) evaluation tool on a given program is highly dependent on how the tool is able to detect and discard semantically infeasible executions of the program. In this paper, we propose to use the classical abstract interpretation-based method of linear relation analysis to discover and exploit relations between execution paths. For this purpose, we add auxiliary variables (counters) to the program to trace its execution paths. The results are easily incorporated in the classical workflow of a WCET evaluator, when the evaluator is based on the popular implicit path enumeration technique. We use existing tools - a WCET evaluator and a linear relation analyzer - to build and experiment a prototype implementation of this idea.

The W-SEPT Project: Towards Semantic-Aware WCET Estimation

Authors: Claire Maiza, Pascal Raymond, Catherine Parent-Vigouroux, Armelle Bonenfant, Fabienne Carrier, Hugues Cassé, Philippe Cuenot, Denis Claraz, Nicolas Halbwachs, Erwan Jahier, Hanbing Li, Marianne de Michiel, Vincent Mussot, Isabelle Puaut, Christine Rochange, Erven Rohou, Jordy Ruiz, Pascal Sotin, and Wei-Tsun Sun

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 57, 17th International Workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis (WCET 2017)

Abstract
Critical embedded systems are generally composed of repetitive tasks that must meet hard timing constraints, such as termination deadlines. Providing an upper bound of the worst-case execution time (WCET) of such tasks at design time is necessary to guarantee the correctness of the system. In static WCET analysis, a main source of over-approximation comes from the complexity of the modern hardware platforms: their timing behavior tends to become more unpredictable because of features like caches, pipeline, branch prediction, etc. Another source of over-approximation comes from the software itself: WCET analysis may consider potential worst-cases executions that are actually infeasible, because of the semantics of the program or because they correspond to unrealistic inputs. The W-SEPT project, for "WCET, Semantics, Precision and Traceability", has been carried out to study and exploit the influence of program semantics on the WCET estimation. This paper presents the results of this project : a semantic-aware WCET estimation workflow for high-level designed systems.

Mixed Criticality on Multicore/Manycore Platforms (Dagstuhl Seminar 15121)

Authors: Sanjoy K. Baruah, Liliana Cucu-Grosjean, Roabert I. Davis, and Claire Maiza

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 5, Issue 3 (2015)

Abstract
This report provides an overview of the discussions, the program and the outcomes of the first Dagstuhl Seminar on Mixed Criticality on multicore/Manycore Platforms. The seminar brought together researchers working on challenges related to executing mixed criticality real-time applications on multicore and manycore architectures with the main purpose of promoting a closer interaction between the sub-communities involved in real-time scheduling, real-time operating systems / runtime environments, and timing analysis as well as interaction with specialists in hardware architectures.

WCET and Mixed-Criticality: What does Confidence in WCET Estimations Depend Upon?

Authors: Sebastian Altmeyer, Björn Lisper, Claire Maiza, Jan Reineke, and Christine Rochange

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 47, 15th International Workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis (WCET 2015)

Abstract
Mixed-criticality systems integrate components of different criticality. Different criticality levels require different levels of confidence in the correct behavior of a component. One aspect of correctness is timing. Confidence in worst-case execution time (WCET) estimates depends on the process by which they have been obtained. A somewhat naive view is that static WCET analyses determines safe bounds in which we can have absolute confidence, while measurement-based approaches are inherently unreliable. In this paper, we refine this view by exploring sources of doubt in the correctness of both static and measurement-based WCET analysis.

Program Semantics in Model-Based WCET Analysis: A State of the Art Perspective

Authors: Mihail Asavoae, Claire Maiza, and Pascal Raymond

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 30, 13th International Workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis (2013)

Abstract
Advanced design techniques of safety-critical applications use specialized development model based methods. Under this setting, the application exists at several levels of description, as the result of a sequence of transformations. On the positive side, the application is developed in a systematic way, while on the negative side, its high-level semantics may be obfuscated when represented at the lower levels. The application should provide certain functional and non-functional guarantees. When the application is a hard real-time program, such guarantees could be deadlines, thus making the computation of worst-case execution time (WCET) bounds mandatory. This paper overviews, in the context of WCET analysis, what are the existing techniques to extract, express and exploit the program semantics along the model-based development workflow.
