Techniques for Building Timing-Predictable Embedded Systems

This book describes state-of-the-art techniques
for designing real-time computer systems. The author shows how to estimate
precisely the effect of cache architecture on the execution time of a program,
how to dispatch workload on multicore processors to optimize resources, while
meeting deadline constraints, and how to use closed-form mathematical
approaches to characterize highly variable workloads and their interaction in a
networked environment.  Readers will
learn how to deal with unpredictable timing behaviors of computer systems on
different levels of system granularity and abstraction.  Introduces promising techniques for dealing with
challenges associated with deploying real-time systems on multicore platforms;
Provides a complete picture of building
timing-predictable computer systems, at the program level, component level and
system level;
Leverages different levels of abstraction to
deal with the complexity of the analysis.
